Ah the thread started from after WWII, move those industries south, no unions, no high taxes, better quality but cheaper products. Ooops, off further south to Mexico, cheaper goods, no unions, lousy quality. Now we have container trains fresh off the ship winging there way to Wal-Mart warehouses to deliver cheaper goods from China to citizens without income to buy, much less drive to cracked parking lots over grown with weeds at a closed down factory. <br />You may think your "government" should solve the "problem" much like it has handled the Katrina debacle. Maybe we all should give some pause to concider how we do our own jobs and the value we offer to our neighbors as consumers of "our products", and look for our "neighbors offerings" before we buy our next Toyota or Honda. Cheap is good when you have income to buy. Perhaps we should be looking for "neighbor" made product more often, and offering well made quality goods to keep our railroads in "business" and our factory parking lots well used. <br /> <br />Will
