Thanks Obama and globalism for selling our ability to make anything down the river.
I should amend my comment - Obama, unions, and globalists sold our nation's infrastructure and manufacturing capability for a mess of pottage.
We will soon be a nation of two castes: those who work for the government and unions and have double-dip pensions, and the rest of us, who work what honest jobs are left and have thick-necked, shaved-headed goons watching us to make sure we don't get out of line and wonder aloud why we should pay for their wages and benefits.
Funny how much union goons look like skinheads.
It took from 1865 to 1988 for the United States to build the industrial infrastructure that was the envy of the world and the foundation of the largest and most prosperous middle class in history. It took only 20 years for three Presidents — George H.W. Bush, William Jefferson Clinton, and George W. Bush — to pursue the “free” trade and financial deregulation policies that dismantled the manufacturing base and created the economy of debt that is now unwinding. Obama isn’t helping matters but he is a newcomer to the scene and will soon have to take accountability for his contribution to the decline of a once great nation.
