Sorry if you didn't get it, Willie, but I used the "race card" as a joke. Too subtle, I guess.

As far as the economy is concerned, you're correct; the president has bungled it just like presidents have for 100 years. More importantly, WE (you and I included) bungled the economy badly over the last 45 years or so.

I'm tired of hearing from UAW members, for example, who have driven foreign cars since the 70s whining about how the goverment has to do something about trade. These boys dropped the ball themselves and expect someone else to pick it up for them. When I brought the issue up to them in '77-'80, they laughed like it was a big joke. Well, it was, but the joke was on them. Likewise, with steel, electronics, textiles, etc. These folks all sold themselves out to save a buck or two.

LOL! Well IF they were laughing it was because you ARE a joke.
It's evident you've never even been IN a UAW plant.
Sheeesh. Whenever I would visit a GM or Chrysler plant when I worked for an automotive supplier, I received cold glares simply because I drove a FORD. LOL! You might spot a foreign vehicle every now and then in the parking lot -- but I can guarantee that they were very few and far between. And you're also forgetting the HUGE employee discounts UAW members get if they work directly for one of the Big Three.

Spare me the hogwash about UAW members buying foreign cars.
I've been there firsthand and ain't buying that baloney.
