Don't you mean A British company RUNS our ports, but we OWN them? (I hope).

See post 1440. You will have to ask Carolina's Mom what she meant, I only was replying. Either way, I think American ports should be owned and run by America. No prejudice here--it's a matter of protecting our own ports. We need to keep our eye on the ball.

As should ALL American Strategic Industries. Until the BILL COMES DUE...
Then we're whining about how much the Gov Spends...

Imagine the Nightmare of a Longshoreman's strike in the West idf they were GOVERNMENT-RUN?? 140K a year for 34 Avg work hours would seem like a pittance compared to what they would demand as Government employees!!!

Yes they should be run and owned by Americans. Also any company that get's American government contracts should be owned and run by Americans as well. This isn't the only crazy thing Bush has said recently, he also said he wants to increase H1-B visas so we can let more "bright" people into the USA! Like we don't have enough bright people right here in the USA to do the work, when everyone that knows anything about it knows that is not the case at all.
