Doug,

Since the big 3 and their subsidiaries manufacture cars in Mexico, Canada,
Europe and Asia isn't your statement true for American Auto Makers.

Do you honestly believe the solution to the higher cost for auto makers is
national health care? National Health Care might be a very viable solution
for Americans, but transferring the payments for health care from one pocket
to another pocket, will not make the cars cost any less.

NYOB,

Can you believe Harry thinks the US Toyota employees have national
healthcare? I wonder if they have to go to Tokyo for a doctor visit?

Did you see the movie "Gung-ho" with Michael Keaton? They have
mandatory fitness breaks. That's how they stay so damn healthy.





This is fascinating. You simpies believe there is no relationship between
Toyota's prices and profits on what it assembles here and
its manufacturing costs in Japan, which are subsidized in many ways by
the government there?

Toyota's workers here are covered by insurance Toyota provides here, but
that doesn't mean its profitability on what it "builds" here is not
impacted by its operations in Japan.

That's just plain dumb. My neighbor Delmar sez compnes in other countrys
aint sposed ta trade spit wit their branches here. It's like a rule or
sumthin.
