Too true. I remember back before the 04 Presidential election, a lot of Kerry-supporters were complaining about jobs being shipped overseas (you know, as part of the arguement that Bush 43 lost the most jobs of any president since Herbert Hoover).Yeah, but what constitutes "American" anymore?

Well, as it turns out, there are actually more jobs outsourced into the US, than out of it. I want to say that Honda has 4 or 5 planst just in Ohio alone (the Element is made Ohio, I know that for sure).
