You know something is up when it is once again cheaper to produce in Japan. The labor and facility costs there are extremely high.

Always told the wife that I would get a Gold Wing over a Harley, but this changes things.

It makes perfect sense to flee a sinking ship when the drunken captain has started chopping holes in the lifeboats.

Not a good sign....that is a lot of jobs lost

But, the days of willy-nilly free trade are over....and you will see more in-sourcing of jobs. In fact, this is now happening in reverse, as some manufacturers are leaving Communist China to return to the US (mainly due to transportation costs)

Honda knows its about to hit the fan and are getting out before HUSSEIN BARAKA pulls a Chavez and nationalizes their factories.

We are seeing a third world african marxist dictator in the Mugabe style running the USA into the ground.

Honda announced this last year.

They need the extra capacity to build the Honda Fit car. They’re not able to keep up with demand for the little thing.

Goldwing and VTX sales haven’t been great in the last few years.

Ohio went blue, became socialist and unfriendly to free enterprise. The cure for socialism is widespread and lengthy unemployment for Democrats. How is that secession movement coming along in Texas?

I hate to be cold, be that’s what Ohio gets for voting for 0bama. They better reverse course and elect John Kasich Governor.

Pensylvania, your next. Rememebr how 0bama promised to bankrupt the coal industry and you still overwhelmingly voted for him? Your time to reap the Hope and Change is coming soon.

I’m in California and have already the price form my state electing the two bitches in Senate and moonbat leftis legislature and RINO Governator. It’ll be interesting to see )bama brings the final death blow to my state. But we deserve it. He got 60% of the vote in CA.

Reap it America. You wanted 0bama, now deal with his Marxisim.
