[AT] Check out Harbor freights sale on 8000lb winches

[Dan Glass]

Isn't this like blaming the barn that the horse got out.  I would pay 
more for American products if they were better.  But I think the unions 
have said we want more wages even if we have to cut quality to do it.  
American car prices would probably be cut by 1/3 or better if we got the 
unions out.
