And, to carry that one step further, since those MICE assembled here are going to cost nearly DOUBLE what it would cost if they were assembled overseas the result is we will ALL be buying MICE from overseas period, cause those countries wont have artificial government interference driving up the price. Again the KEY is TECHNOLOY and CAPITAL FORMATION. Take AXLES, something I know about as an offroader. The finest axles in the world are made in THE USA. Why, cause it takes HUGE machines that are very costly to FORGE axles. Those that come in from overseas are blank stock, cut splines rather then FORGED (which are 40% stronger), they seem to always have quality control issues in HEAT TREATING (which changes the molecular structure to give an axle more strength and other desirable features). So, the bottom line is this, America can keep their jobs so long as we make things that require INVESTMENT of MONEYS and TECHNOLOGY and let the other guy do the mind numbing diddlewink stuff. jdn
