Default Death Wish?

I'll never buy a toyata, or any other jap mobile.
Having a strong industrial base is what made our country

great, you
may be happy building Japan, but Id rather support

Americans.

If I had my way, I'd impose a trade tariff that would

level the field
with the japs and preserve the retirements that our

mfgr's bear the
burden of. 40-50% import tax. And no country would be

able to sell us
more than we sell them.

And you'd end up with high priced junk that no one could

afford but
would have to buy because they would not have a choice.



Exactly, like Harley D in the 70s-90s.
