Bullchit!!!!!!!- They didn't want to pay the import taxes, so they built plants here to get around paying the fees.
Let me get this straight.... spend billions building plants in the USA to save "how much"!!
Gee, I see thousands of people working for these companies, along with all the
other companies that make all the seats, plastic parts, batteries, etc. My brother-in-law
VP of Sales, works for a very large company making parts for the Big 3, who by the way
told him what they were going to pay for those parts, and then STIFFED them, when they went
Bankrupt. Along the way, he made parts for ALL those companies that MOVED here.
He said they are the easiest people to work with, will work TOGETHER when problems
come up, etc. HIS company had to file for Bankruptcy, because of our good old Big 2.
Sorry I'm venting, but your statement seems 100 miles north of any truths.
