Bullet, has it occurred to you that part of the reason there is a lack of demand for our products abroad goes past the trade issues, it's call are products are crap (ok, it's a generalized statement, but really, who wants an RCA when a Sony is so much better). I've lived in Germany and Korea for a few years (thank you US Army for the world tour), and let's just say, most Europeans laugh at our definition of quality and our technical advances. And lets not ask anyone to honestly compare a Honda to a Chevy for the past 20 years, because dollar for dollar, the Aisians and Europeans have made advances while we sold Grand Ams, Explorers and K-cars way past their usefulness and design life. If it wasn't for a couple lucky design breaks (the SUV) or rental/fleet sales, this would have happened a long time ago. Add this to the corrupt nature of the UAW and upper managment of each of the three divisions and well, my lack of compassion for the dealers, it was doomed to happen. I love America, but we've done alot of this to ourselves, and guess what, it's time for a shake up not another bill for the tax payer to allow this to continue.
