“It’s extraordinary,” “but it’s cheaper to get it from China.” Said Mitt to the brick.
http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/07/made-in-china-olympic-pin-shaped-like-mitt-romneys-face/When Romney’s Salt Lake Organizing Committee developed the Gateway plaza in Salt Lake City, offering patrons and residents the chance to buy bricks for $100 and have their names inscribed, the committee used granite bricks from China, despite an abundance of granite in the nearby Wasatch mountains, the Salt Lake Tribune reported at the time.
“It’s extraordinary,” Romney told the paper, “but it’s cheaper to get it from China.”

look at China and salivate profusely from their blubbering lips...
they look at China's curious combo of corrupt "communist" statism and capitalism and think
God, why can't we get that here in the U.S.?
they want dirt cheap, slave labor, NO worker's rights, no unions, no OSHA and NO
environmental regs.
GM is just opening their new $1.1 Billion factory in China to build Buicks and Cadillac XTS's.. they
must be a little nervous, tho', since due to the hideous air pollution problem in China (NO regs!
remember??) car buyers must purchase a "special" permit to buy a car... and the
government ain't giving many of those out now.
Oh, you thought GM was Broke??
