We have to sell around 43,000 cans of Coke to the Germans to make up for each entry level BMW they sell us. The massive trade deficits we run with our trading partners means that they won't be able to mount a successful economic boycott against us.

Yes, I was kinda thinking the same thing....but...umm...isn't Mercedes Benz part of Chrysler now??? and is that an american owned company with factories in Germany or a German owned company with factories in America??? If it's the former, I say we yank the factories, put them here...give AMERICANS jobs and screw up their unemployment rate while helping ours :)
