Quote: Are you willing to pay $50,000 for your Saturn 2 door

Saturns are made in Tenn with AMERICAN workers and some of their models sell for less than 20K. Imagine that.

Yes, I am aware of the Saturn thing in TN. I suspect, but do not know, that many of the component assemblies in the Saturn are made overseas, final assemply is done in the US. GM also accounts for health insurance differently for Saturn, not sure that they are profitable.

That said, if we erect trade barriers via tariffs and expect that the cost of products will not sky rocket, we kidding ourselves. From a pure cost of living standpoint, all the global political ramifications aside, this is a very bad idea.
