It's not a hatchet job on Bush. It's reality.

Perhaps you perceive that as true-but I read the magazine & see gratuitous, mindless insult where there should be reasoned argument. They have sharpened their focus & cleared the conspiracy cob webs, but their single minded attack, relentless hatred displayed with obvious attempt at insult, is just absurd. They only need raise fact-that would be it's own argument. They harm themselves & cloud the issues with this assualt.

What is reality is the buying public that choose the lower priced item which comes from China and elsewhere. The American people are the ones who are not supporting American made products. Why? Haven't we been told to always buy American made first. I do when I can find them and many would say I can't find them cause the jobs have gone overseas. Why have the jobs gone and are going? Well, we didn't choose to buy American when we had the chance. Why didn't we buy American again. Eventually, I am sorry to say, that the high cost of manufacturing prevented the company from being able to compete and since MAKING MONEY for the owners and stockholders has to be the bottom line they end up having to make decisions in the best interest of the company. Are some of the companies greedy and don't care about the workers. YES and they should be singled out and boycotted. I am not defending companies, but I do see why some have to eventually move, leave or reorganize to make a profit. They are not in the business of just creating jobs. Somewhere down the line, profits have to be made. If we want to keep jobs, then we have to not gripe and complain if we have to pay more for American made than China made. This is an enormous problem and again I hate to hear of any company leaving and rejoice when I see new companies opening, but facts are facts and money is money.
