GB, I completely agree.. It does sound good now, but when crunch time comes, they'll take care of Numero Uno... They like being vertically integrated, and have the funds to do it.. In the long run it'll mean we're all on the short end of the stick.
We've bought their garbage for 30 years decimating our own manufacturing, now they're using that money to buy anything of value we have left. Should a war happen, we're going to have no underwear, no socks, no shoes, no cars, no electronics, no tools, and won't have time to build up our own manufacturing again (or knowledge)...
Ain't gonna be pretty.
