It's not the economy Mark...I'm sad to say. It's the way it is in North America now. We've resigned ourselves to buy Asian goods & while it seemed like a great idea in the beginning being able to buy Dan's Hubs for $200 rather than buy Steve's hubs for $700...who benefits in the end?
We all want to save a buck but the long & short of it is there are no jobs here anymore.
You either own a large company & have your employees based in Asia/Mexico or you live here & your unemployed.
Sure...there's exceptions but expect the middle class in North America to continue shrinking at a rapid rate.
When I look at pictures of Detroit...it's sickening.
Welcome to the new global economy & we here on the Power Wagon Forum are just as guilty as everyone else.
