"the value of purchases of companies by non-U.S. buyers so far this year totaled
$257.4 billion - more than in any full year since 2000"
"the effect of foreign deals on workers and communities if decisions on jobs and plant locations are made in Europe, Asia or the Middle East"
Data that I have reviewed shows that over 800 US Corporations and Private Comapnies have been sold to forreign buyers so far in 2007.

"The paid shills will be along soon to tell us how great the deflating dollar really is." Such pessimism. If the Mexican Peso gains enough strength against the dollar the flow of illegals will stop and then reverse itself.

Paid shills. That’s nice. Why don’t you enlighten the thread with your strong Dollar scenarios. In reality.

One sign you can’t win your argument is when you begin by questioning the motives of your opponent off-the-bat.

Ask him to think of the falling dollar as an increase in the tariff on imports. Mental vapor-lock certain.

Who needs a job when you have stock in a China fund? And in other news, this thread is about foreigners investing in the United States.

I see Alan Tonelson is getting some ink here. We don’t hear much from him anymore since Willie left us — not that I miss either of them.

I imagine Tonelson, Hawkins, Willie, and others sitting in a circle and shaking their canes in the air.

And in other news, this thread is about foreigners investing in the United States. Actually, what the thread say is:
"But when they buy these companies, they're acquiring control over the most dynamic pieces of the American economy, and they're acquiring control over America's future."
Anymore peanuts from the treason lobby you'd like to toss out there?
To: LM_Guy
I did find some good in this thread....the keywords are entertaining.

"But when they buy these companies, they're acquiring control over the most dynamic pieces of the American economy, and they're acquiring control over America's future." I'll remember you highlighted that the next time GM invests in an auto plant in China.
