I don't think anyone is gloating over an American business in trouble or the loss of so many jobs. It is bad when any large employer has to cut back. It doesn't help anyone, I do agree they are not sucking up tax payer cash but I doubt our gov't would bail them out as they have with the big 3 or the banks. I don't think HD would be considered a needed manufacturer but looked at as more of a little guy. My towing business at this point is all but dead after 11 years of doing fairly well, I doubt the gov't would bail me out.
I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains. Eat right ,Exercise ,Stay fit, Die Anyway!
