  1. I think the auto and truck buyers are getting smarter on buying American made cars and trucks because this is one of the biggest trade balance problem in our Country.Do not let the billionaires tell you over trade is good because when we fall as a Country they will not be here.Our people in Washington are the biggest liars in the World.
    Two reasons why Rome failed: not trading at all and their Military in to many places at once.
