U.S. Economy Is Growing Again?

UNLESS WELL PAYING MANUFACTURING JOBS ARE BROUGHT BACK THIS COUNTRY AND GIVE PEOPLE BUYING POWER, WE WILL NOT SEE ANY SIGNIFICANT GROWTH... CORPORATE AMERICA CAN NOT SEND OUR JOBS TO SLAVE LABOR COUNTRIES AND IMPORT THOSE PRODUCTS BACK TO THIS COUNTRY AND EXPECT THOSE WHO'S JOBS THEY HAVE TAKEN AWAY TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD THOSE PRODUCTS.

Too Big to Fail: Now It Gets Interesting

"Competitiveness in American industry"...Joseph... are you telling me that if we lower American worker's wages to the same level as the Chinese, Mexicans and the Koreans our economy's problems will be solved?

CORPORATE AMERICA HAS BANKRUPTED THIS COUNTRY BY SELLING OUR JOBS TO SLAVE LABOR IN OTHER COUNTRIES, FORCING US TO COMPETE WITH THEM, LOWERING OUR BUYING POWER, OUR TAX BASE AND OUR STANDARD OF LIVING. THIS COUNTRY BUYS MOST OF WHAT THE WORLD PRODUCES... UNLESS OUR GOOD PAYING MANUFACTURING JOBS ARE BROUGHT BACK THERE WILL NOT BE BUYING POWER, NO TAX BASE, NO MAIN STREET AND WITH OUT MAIN STREET THERE WILL BE NO WALL STREET.

JEFF...GET OFF AMERICA AND GM'S REAR END...IF YOU DID NOT GET A RECALL NOTICE FROM HONDA ITS PERHAPS BECAUSE YOU DON'T OWN ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!
March 3, 2008

• More automotive news ...


Honda is recalling 273,000 2004 to 2008 ACURA TL sports sedans because power steering fluid may leak, leading to a fire in the engine compartment. The company is also recalling 129,000 2004 to 2005 Acura TL sports sedans, this time because of a windshield wiper problem.

“Prolonged high under-hood temperatures may cause the poser steering hose to deteriorate prematurely causing the hose to crack and leak power steering fluid,” according to the National Highway traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

Volkswagen Plans North America Onslaught

YOU'RE RIGHT... THE ONE THING WE DO NOT NEED IS LIVABLE WAGES, HEALTH CARE BENEFITS, SAFETY WORK RULES.
WHAT WE NEED IS MORE FOREIGN TRANSPLANTS UNDERCUTTING THE AMERICAN UNION WORKERS, BRING DOWN OUR WAGES, CUT OUT BENEFITS. THAT IS GOING TO JUMP START OUR ECONOMY, INCREASE PEOPLE'S BUYING POWER, GIVE US A STRONG TAX BASE AND OF COURSE PUT US AT PAR WITH THE REST OF THE THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES...SUCCESS ON A MASSIVE SCALE...

AND WE WONDER HOW WE GOT IN THIS MESS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Toyota Wins 'Cash for Clunkers' Race So Far

BUYING FOREIGN RUST BOXES WITH THEIR OWN TAX MONEY...The American people do not have the rights to bitch and complain if the domestic auto are not able to re-pay the government loans...the contrary...when they get up in the morning and look in their mirrors they should be looking at someone slapping the cr@p out of the person they're looking @.
