What the heck do you mean, "...they had trouble locating the valves...". Dah! 50 homes with out heat because of some blockhead! Yep, Professionals! Some more of those "we need to keep wages up to attract better people" types. Don't you just hate that loud hissing sound when you run a backhoe?
Buy or don't buy - you're watching an industry go the way of steel, TV, shoes, textiles, rubber, tooling, and on and on...... We cannot buy our way out of this mess. Action is needed to start to reverse the long lived cause of the mess (except for greed). Imports without proper and fair duty is not fair trade. It is free trade - free access to the largest buying market on the globe. Look at our market and us buyers simply as a huge flea market. Let those who want to bring thier wares to our "flea market" - pay to set up. Remember, before income tax, that is how the federal government supported itself. Those good old days you hear about. Without the return of some of those old solid good paying jobs, we will never return to a way of living that we saw in the 50's and 60's. Not a popular idea (to importers), but it must be done or the next generation is doomed to an ever decreasing standard of living.

Do you plan on buying a new or used car in the first quarter of 2009?
