Hi,

Quote:A reasoned plan would look at the regions of the country (Detroit, *cough*), and develop a strategy for retooling or invigorating the business sector that is hit.Bring back the manufacturing jobs? How? Turn the clock back and eliminate automation? Go back to a time when transportation was expensive enough to offset international wage differences? Drop the expensive environmental and safety regulations that contribute so much to our inability to compete in a global market? Do the WalMarts in Detroit sell Chinese manufactured goods? And do the workers there buy them?
Quote:Congress' stellar low approval ratings for over 2 decades is indicative of their disconnect with the people.And the continuous reelections of the incumbents is indicative of the ignorance and apathy of the people. Or of the failure of our system to work right.
