Exactly....you can hear the vacuum sound already! . Part of the problem is our factories have to comply w/ enviromental and safety issues where the Chinese plants spew the bad into the air and water without penalty or cost also if a worker gets hurt they just don't have a job anymore....no work is no pay plus there's no benefits or retirement funds to cost the manufacturers either! . I think the real issue is why our governments allow these products to be sold here which is what's been taking our own manufacturers out of the game? . Look at the small town stores now....WalMart is basically an all Chinese outlet now and how can anyone compete? . The Chinese cars are soon arriving and I don't know of plans to build plants here like Toyota etc? . We're in BIG trouble and I think it's a one way river we just came down....Sh*t Creek is maybe a better name for it??? ~ Pete
