What textile mills? I didn't think we had any still operating.

Yep. I'm still trying to figure out which political genius told Bush it would be a good idea to go to a North Carolina textile mill to sell his plan to ship still more North Carolina textile jobs to Latin America.

Hello? Is this thing turned on?

Maybe that textile mill sells a lot of its product in Central America? Just a thought.

I'm thinking the same thing. Like NAFTA wasn't bad enough.

Another one of his 'conservative' advisors. Gaston County used to be considered one of THE textile centers not only in the US but in the world. I grew up there and I couldn't tell you more than a handful of mills that are still open and operating. And he's going to Belmont/Mt. Holly, the core of the textile area.
