Tell those americans working in foreign auto plants that make light trucks. the tariff on light truck imports is the reason why Toyota, Nissan, etc al, are building pickups in Texas and Alabama.

Gosh, I wonder if those Americans are out-numbered by the ones who are forced to spend more money on light trucks, and I wonder how many fewer are sold for the same reason.

pickup truck sales are doing fine. if given the choice of selling at the current rate and employing americans, or selling a few more because they were $2000 less expsensive and employing people in Thailand and sending the americans to work at walmart - I'll pay more for the truck.
