Apparently the big 3 are busy building plants everywhere but Amerika, making the same old crap and selling it I guess, to us and the local peasants. Do the Chinese pay 40,000 dollars for a SUV? Do the Mexicans? How about the Brazilians? What do they pay?

The question I have is related to yours, and I don't know the direct answer to your question.

I can understand why companies would rather pay $50 per week instead of $50 per hour for labor, and I can understand that they'd rather build in countries with lower taxes and fewer environmental and labor laws.

What I don't understand is how we will be able to maintain the standard of living to which we've become accustomed as all our good paying jobs go overseas.

The only hope I see is for people to regroup. Live below your means for awhile. I think we have to take the country back, one family, one church, one business at a time. Don’t buy from big chain stores, patronize local businesses. Don’t eat from chain restaurants, eat at a local diner, etc.
I have started businesses with 1500 dollars, be inventive. And everybody in a family has to work to help out, give up cigarettes, give up liquor, drugs whatever, video games, tv, and wake up to what is going on
