Six plants in Centre County and one in Huntingdon County closed during the past year, because of either foreign competition or the outsourcing of jobs to other countries,

And the US EPA regulations helped or hurt that issue?

I predicted back when I was a wee lad that we would loose manufacturing jobs because of that bunk.

Thanks for helping Kerry with this post, Willie.

(I think it's so funny that union people support dems, while the dem addiction to environmental theocracy hurts union jobs the most)

so tell us, what kind of industrial pollution you are in favor of? maybe a little toxic air, or chemicals in the water. should the US have the same environmental protections as a third world country?

this issue is not about Kerry or Bush, its about our country's economic future.
