We used to be a nation that “made” things.
Useful things, like sewing machines, tools, socks.
GM and Chrystler have fallen, and most of our
manufacturing has gone. How do we “survive”?
We need to get back to making it.
Making our own tools, toys, technologeys.
With our own resources.
Drill baby Drill?
Create, baby. “Create.”
The tax maggots are trying to bleed us dry and suck
the life out of the American spirit.
Can do attitude is needed. The wind in our faces is high.
The friction of the maggots holds us back.
Grab a saw, a screwdriver, a tap and die set. We must make it. For ourselves.
For our children and grandchildren.
Will you “make it”?

Menlo (Diary) Tuesday, June 2nd at 2:48PM EST (link)Congress should simply block Chinese imports, something they should have done decades ago.
I may not be popular with some here for saying this. However, I think simply giving businesses more freedom and incentives are the wrong way to go when competition can involve slave labor, a totalitarian Communist regime, inferior and dangerous products, and the loss of jobs where we actually have an obligation to keep them.
We need a bigger push from the public to ban Chinese imports.

Unpopular, hell.

redscan (Diary) Tuesday, June 2nd at 5:12PM EST (link)i agree too. one cannot compete with “free.”
Slave-like labor in third world countrys cannot be
combatted even with no unions in ours. We have
given “them” trillions for “junk.” It may be too late: they may
already “own” us. But we have to try to “make it.”
