Still pimping for Tariffs I see.

The American entitlement industry is the problem, not the solution.

But I guess, if it means keeping your pension that it’s all good. Right, Danny? Screw everyone else, I have mine?

And how is the Federal Government doing compared to 1968? Yep, thought so.

"I don't have a pension, nor do I work for manufacturing. I simply recognize that manufacturing is important to the strength of our nation, and also pays well."

But you slander people like a liberal when you don't agree with them. There was no call for that or many of the other comments you've made about me. At least this time, you didn't make the slanderous claim without copying me on the message.

"The real problem is the red tape and regulation. Things like the EPA, highest corporate taxes in the G20, etc. Those things are what makes Americans uncompetitive.

You could eliminate all of those and we still wouldn't compete against $0.17/hour Chinese labor.

I got it! Let’s give amnesty to millions of illegals who will work for less.

Let’s look at the $1.60 mimimun wage in these terms. That was 1.6 X .72 oz of well worn silver. At today’s prices, that means about $23 in silver—slightly more if the coins aren’t worn down.
