Unfortunately most of what we import tends to be raw goods with steady demand that we can't supply from the US (ie. Oil) so we couldn't respond to cost pressures if we wanted to. I agree with you Alan about the need to reduce Artificial inflators in our dealings with other countries, especially Japan. We nearly handed them our domestic automobile business on a silver platter back in the late 80's while they maintained an embargo against Ford and GM. It didn't surprise me at all to hear that Honda has gone against the "gentleman's agreement" they had with us and will be introducing the first Honda Pick-up Truck this year.
