 OFFLINE | General Motors is investing $540 million to build fuel-efficient engines at its plant in central Mexico.
Labor Secretary Javier Lozano says the plant in the city of Toluca will produce lower-emission 1.6 and 1.8-liter, 4-cylinder engines for export. The investment will provide 500 new jobs.
President Felipe Calderon praised the investment at a ceremony Thursday, calling it another sign of recovery for Mexico's auto industry.
money well spent. |

I'm not against getting the best bang for a buck ... I'm true blue capitalist.
OTOH, I wonder what's behind the deal. If GM has to build them in Mexico, it's for a reason. And that reason is either because the de facto head of Government Motors made a deal. Or it's because we can't competitively build them here anymore.
In either case, that prompts questions for collective introspection ...
"What have we become? How did we get here? And is this who we want to be?"

That would be very P.C. these days. And it means they could get a law passed to give them a special legal status above everybody else.
Wait ...
... we already did ...

I don't think we know what or who we want to be in the US, were searching and we had better find the right answer soon. Its all about exports and building in those countries and getting them "China to build here. Its their last hope. We have so many problems to try to cure, its mind boggling at times. What we/I think we do know its going to come to a focus and were scrmbling for answers.
The answer I think goes way back to a time long, long ago and its like a avalanche that keeps growing and growing. Try to stand clear if you see it coming at you. lol
Weve lost our way and the answer could be quite simple if they could see it. No matter if we find the answer to our problems and I doubt we will, theres a lot of Peter's, Paul has to own up too. Mumble Jumble, maybe, I hope i'm wrong. We all should all hope i'm wrong.
