21 million new jobs and higher real wages. Save us from more good stuff like that. LOL!!!
Tell that to Fort Payne Alabama... This has just killed the town (formally known as the Sock Capital of the World)...

You have no idea what you are talking about


I agree LowOiL. I'm from Lexington, NC and this is going to kill whats left of NC's textile and furniture industry. And what's left of American manufactoring really. Not to mention another erosion of American soveriengity.

Was anyone around when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor? We were able to snap into a war time mode immediately. All the manufacturing plants were converted to making arms, tanks, vehicles, planes, etc. Now, there is NO machine tool industry in this country. Everything is overseas.

Can you imagine what would happen if we were attacked now - what would we do? Please our orders with China, Korea, Taiwan and God knows who else.

I am sure everyone is aware that the Chinese bought out the personal computer division of IBM. They are also into the manufacture of micro chips that can be used in defense equipment.

My Lady Liberty rest in peace.
