Yup,and what ticks me off about it is that the only ones who benefit are stock holders,not consumers. When the refrigerator plant closed and 2700 jobs went south of the border,the price of a new refrigerator didn't come down one thin dime. Refrigerators are what's known as a durable good,meaning they last a long time. How often does the average consumer have to buy one? The total number of jobs that went with those 2700 will probably never be known,but it's estimated to be at least 10,000. If everybody had to pay another $200 for an American made refrigerator every 20 years or so,wouldn't we all still be better off having those people employed,paying taxes,circulationg that money through the economy creating more jobs? Now spread that out over the whole country,across a wide array of durable goods. Wouldn't the whole country be better off? We're past the golden age in this country. Back when union manufacturing jobs were the rule,not the exception.

Some purist I'm sure will disagree to no end with what I will tell you but most of us out here in the real world don't really care do we ? Some of them only bring their noses down out of the air long enough to look down them anyway. If you are like me you are only doing this old tractor stuff because you enjoy it. You
