What car is built in SC? I'm going to buy one!

BMW for one

As with many countries, both good and bad products come from China.

It's a global economy now and will become more so as time goes on. Its the natural progression of things. Other than complain, not much choice but to get used to it and adapt. Change is hard.

Mapman is right - the other shoe has dropped and we are waiting for it to hit the floor. My motto, since I became aware of the inevitability we face, has been, " I can't keep it from happening, but I might be able to keep it from happening to me". Now I'm starting to think I've been kidding myself with that one.
What happens if the Oval Office and both Houses go Republican? We could all get notices the following week that our mortgages are being called in. Instantly, we become a nation of renters. Think in terms of the quintessential coal mining community where the company owns the housing and the only place to buy anything (including food) is from the company. No money anywhere to be seen because we all work for the company and we all have charge accounts at the store that we cannot afford to pay off because our wages are scaled to keep us that way.

Somebody please, tell me why that won't happen.

Nonoise:

I agree with what you said, but I will add this, none of this is being done behind closed doors or in smoked filled back rooms, it's being done right in our faces, and we like little easily manipulated sheep just go along. That revolution that we fought for at such a great price was stolen long ago. We didn't notice or care because we were living better than the rest of the world.
