Re: Lack of National Health Care Helped Kill Delphi, is GM next?

Earl,

There is an underlying driver that is causing this in the US. And that is
the consumer! The consumer is driving the market & the free market
determines what company's survive and the ones that don't. If you are not
competitive you will be history. The public will not pay more for your goods
just because the are "Made In America". The buying public wants cheap,
cheap, cheap.....and this forces companies to source overseas where goods &
services are cheaper.
