Bob,

Well said! But, it gets a little deeper than that I think.

We as a country need to realize ( remember ) that the
manufacturing base is what made the USA what it is today.
No one wants to get their hands dirty once they go through
college it seems. They want MBA's and quick profits. That
line of thinking is what got us in this pickle. Enough !

We have lost much of our great spirit to thinking like the
Clintons used with NAFTA and the like. Remember, we were
going to re-train all of the displaced manufacturing
workers for "hi-tech" jobs. MY ASS! Those people are out
of work - period.

I changed from a Design Engineer to a Manufacturing
Engineer many years ago because I believe in the mfg. base
as our future competitive advantage. I get sick every time
I hear about the Chinese this, the Chinese that...... The
Chinese not know s**t. Only what we taught them and what
the stole. Sorry if that offends anyone here. I deal with
this every day. Clients tell me, "If I send this mold
project to China, we can get it built for 1/3 the cost."
Quality is not nearly as good there, but they are getting better.

We need to start thinking about the United States of
America as just that - UNITED! We need to unite as a
country to build the good products we need as a country,
and at a reasonable price. Note that I mentioned
reasonable, not the cheapest. If Americans can be "taught"
to realize that our future depends on our collective
success, then we will be far better off.

Sorry for the rant...... Now, back to SHP BBC's !!!!!
