Comment on Caterpillar Says Health Bill Would Cost Company $100 Million More by Quentink

We need to insure all workers. America’s greatest invention was, is and always will be the middle class. If foreign companies do not pay health care, follow environmental regulations ro pay living wages they should be tarriffs imposed to make things equal. The answer is NOT dropping our wages, insurance and overall quality of life or we give up the very thing that has always set us apart.

Comment on Here Come the Chinese Exports! by Bob Trojan

I guess we can’t have it both ways, maybe if we used articles longer and not bought as much we could afford a little more for American made products,,,and yes, they are available, just takes a little looking.
We’ve become a throw-away society and gotta have the latest of whatever….and sacrifice jobs in the process.

Wal-Mart has got to sell something, right?
When we buy products based on the cheapest price- we are investing in our future. Bad investments maybe, but our purchases support our way of life and we’re not going to change that.
I’d love for Americans to prove me wrong.

Comment on Europe doesn’t Like Buy America by bob trojan

I think that the more we can promote and sell our US made products the better, even if the sprcs are written to favor us. I think the Europeans do it all the time, including with my own company products.

In the end, it’s a survival of the fittest, even if the specs favor one or the other.

Soooooo, I don’t get it. Are you saying it’s OK for the U.S. to promote “Buy American” but we should be upset if the EU does the same?

Comment on Obama Manufacturing Plan Analyzed by Samal

Just like I said yesterday, the administration can write such a nice sounding paper but their actions do not support their words.

My summation from yesterday applies to Manzullo here as well:

Get out of our way and let us get to work. Stop “Helping” because every time you think your “helping” your really making things worse!
