A large number of the most innovative electronic technologies ever invented were invented here.

Then promptly sold to the Japanese.

I’m not slamming the Japanese at all. I’m slamming the money grubbers who had no vision.

And now we are hell bent on selling the rights to use OUR OWN HIGHWAYS to foreigners.

If you control the roads, you control the people. Period.
