Good point Rich, and we may have all ready reached a point of no return. Our economy is\was based on making products cheaper and better than anyone else. The key to that working was (in a loud booming voice) "Volume Buisness". We could do it better, and cheaper!

No longer true. This fundamental fact strikes at the very heart of our economy model. We are in big trouble and it's only going to get worse.
