Motors, for instance, has been expanding it's operations in Canada,

I know you want to claim the answer is "health insurance"...but the real
answer is "unions".

Once GM and Ford and Chrysler shut their factories here, and move them
abroad, they'll be out from under the unions. And then, 10 years from
now, you can bet that they'll open new union-free operations stateside
again.

Come on, NOYB, we were talking about Canada. Your union excuse doesn't
fly. Ever hear of the Canadian Auto Workers? They split from the UAW
because they are more militant, and didn't like the UAW's give-backs.

Oh, and just so you don't think I'm making this up, Google Rick Wagoner.
He is the one who said health care costs are wrecking the US economy.



Most "foreign" manufacturers of autos don't have to factor in health
care costs because their countries have universal health care. That
means that everyone in the country pays for healthcare through their
taxes, and everyone in the country gets healthcare.

The United States leads the world, in the fight for the bottom.

That comment makes you a true patriot, according to basskisser!
