What's wrong with them thinking that? Nothing. It's called what the market
will bear.

The market has already spoken. We go to walmart and buy something from
china because it is cheaper.

And if we all bought socks from the last US company making them,
they'd have a banner year, expand, and we'd have the socks we need and
more jobs to boot.

Except that GM/Chrysler designed cars that nobody wanted.

I hear that a lot but they sold the hell out of their trucks. That was
the cash cow at all of the US manufacturers. The Ford F150 is still
one of the top 3 vehicles in the US, down from #1.
I will agree the assembly of a lot of these cars is crap (squeaks
rattles etc) ... but that brings us back to that $60,000 guy doesn't
it?


I suppose it does, but I don't know what Wal-mart has to do with the auto
industry. There are plenty of foreign cars that are affordable and darn
nice.
