So you declare yourself a socialist? The constitution forbids government taxing some and giving it to the private for profit sector.
I declare myself a patriot. We need a manufacturing base. Not only do we need to save the Auto’s we need to bring back manufacturing in a big way. If this financial crisis has demonstrated anything, It demonstrates that our ‘evolved service economy’ will not work and will destroy not only the economy but the middle class in this country. All the financial pundits on television and in print are supporting a stimulus package on infrastructure. They know we can not trade mortgage papers in order to climb out of this economic grave...this country is languishing in...we must build stuff. Such a plan would not be necessary had we promoted our manufacturing sector instead of essentially destroying it.
