Do the national builders get fixed costs for 'x' number of years on materials in return for a guarantee of a certain amount of business to the supplier or distributor? Could they be getting serious bump up in those fixed costs as contracts expire, sort of like the airlines hedging fuel prices forward a couple of years?

What about illegal labor used by the subs? The builders stocks finally collapsed around the same time the illegal immigrant issue became a dominant issue on the national scene. I do imagine some legal, political and economic ramifications from all this down the road for even the national builders..
