Hey I play my china epiphone with great joy. I traded in an over priced
Gibson when I got it and took all the spare money left over and bought
eyeglasses and other stuff. But I also put american made Gibson pickups in
it.

Tomorrow I am buying a Fender american standard strat made in California
which is close to the US but still kind of distant.

Finally I am not an American I am a Canadian and I have never shopped in a
Walmart in my life. Here in Vancouver they have kept Walmart out of the
city. It is in the suburbs but I don't drive.

The new American Standard's are as good as Fender's ever made IMO. I love
mine.

Best decision Vancouver has ever made. Wally world puts small business
under every where they go and all their profits end up overseas. BTW, I
visited Vancouver B.C. when in the Navy. Had a great time. :0)

Re: US tax rebate

If we purchase a good car it will go to Japan .


Wrong. 01 Dodge Ram Quad. 167,000 miles, original motor, manual trans.
318cid-best small block to come out of Detroit.
Repairs-- front u-joints, twice- much 4wd usage in Maine, water pump, back
up
light switch.

All my "Toyota" friends have had more issues and repairs than my pos mopar.
They all warned me to watch out for the dodge. boy were they wrong.
You will never sell me that Japan makes a better truck than the US makers.

your low interest rates must be killing everyone's retirement investment
accounts. invest in australia - 9.5% interest rates and climbing. great for
the investor, a killer for the mortgagee.
