[DeTomaso] NPC - Where are vehicles made

[Szwab,Konrad,HOUSTON,IT]

There are ways to rationalize any decision. I believe this trend of exporting jobs and importing poverty will continue and eventually the country will crash. Many questions will be asked and the "blame" will be spread all around as it is being tried with any failure of leadership lately.

I have heard the coined term "systemic failure" and no one is held accountable. Well, the ones that were supposed to take care of the "system" should be tried and executed.

To me, the trend is quite criminal in nature by those in positions of power that choose short term material gain over the long term healthiness of the US economy. No, I am not talking about buying $2 trinkets or a 20K$ car, but exporting millions of manufacturing jobs, facilitating wholesale industrial espionage or, worse, choosing to manufacture military devices in third party countries that then sell the same designs that were initiated here, to our enemies, as China or Russia are.

We have a duty to protect the US from all enemies, foreign or domestic. When whole cities are abandoned because there are no jobs, people kill themselves in desperation or are kicked in the street with their families, what is the difference between those that chose to steer the companies they lead in that direction to make one more million dollars over the billions they ALREADY have or a terrorist detonating a bomb ?

Mikael, are the windmills, "American style," or "Danish style?"   We have quite a few of the former down here in Texas!   --Bill (lots of wind in Texas, too) Lewis
