As GM goes, so goes nation

I am for free trade. Send manufacturing overseas or to Mexico. Think about it. No child-labor laws. No unions. No minimum wage. No environmental controls. No workers compensation. No unemployment insurance. No Social Security tax. No overtime. No OSHA, etc., etc. Remember the motto from the past? As General Motors goes, so goes the nation.
