Some time ago they closed it. I'm really glad someone else started this thread. [/quote] I can't justify paying the high prices that Athearn and everyother manufacture requires for their now imported junk from China that used to be made here, keep in mind nothing has changed besides the price from $5.00 to $15-$20. Also keep in mind the people in china are not making more than $0.40 a day. Oh ya their standard of living is great. For those of you who don't think that it matters where your stuff is made, remember that when you get your pink slip cause your company is moving to China, India or some other third world country! PEOPLE TAKE OFF YOUR ROSE COLORED GLASSES!!! YOU HAVE TO CARE WHERE YOUR STUFF IS MADE, AND IT BETTER BE IN THE USA!!!! [/quote] Yet another reason to vote AGAINST Bush !!! [/quote] What has Bush have to do with it? This hasn't just happened since he took office. It would take extreemly hig tarrifs or severe trade restrictions to stop it. I You won't get them from either major political party. [/quote] Well Bush is not helping but he is not the start of the problem. Our wonderful government, CEO's and the American public are to blame for out problem. CEO's want stuff to be made cheap so they can have more money, rather than giving it to an American worker, the general public wants things cheap so they dont have to spend all of their money on one thing, Government because they do not care that the American company has to deal with the EPA, labor, high taxes, while the company in China or someother 3rd world doesnt have to worry about pollution or labor, if their labor is a problem that trouble maker becomes an organ donor. No Bush in not completely to blame but neither party in our government is a good choice. Ok enough about politics.
