Layoff 13,000 in US and Europe. Hire 14,000 in India. One less company for me to mess with. Bush did say Americans are working.....on unemployment forms.

9. How about boycotting ALL foreign goods also such as... |
|
Japanese, Korean, German cars, All made in China goods, etc. etc.
Every time you buy one of above, good jobs are lost in the US.
My point is it is not just the export of white collar jobs hurts, but also loss of higher paying manufacturing jobs in the USA.

13. :-) I said MADE in foreign countries, did not quote any BRAND names |
|
But there is a slight discrepancy in your stating that Honda/Toyota's are made in the USA. They are ASSEMBLED in the USA. A significant portion of the parts going into those cars are imported. They assemble it here to avoid paying import duties and tariffs.

So sorry, wish I could help. But I figured out a long time ago they were useless.
