   Of course GM and Ford must buy some of their parts off shore, dummy.  They   
   must do so to compete with imports that have the cost advantage of getting   
   most of their materials off shore, or make most of their vehicles off shore,   
   where labor is cheaper and their are fewer environmental regulation that add   
   to the cost of production in the US.
