    What pulled our fat out of two world wars was our ability to make things, and especially things that worked. We made things here back then and were quickly able to convert to producing war time machinery instead of cars and trucks. I realize it is a different world now but it scares the hell out of me that we don't make a whole lot of things in this country any more.

    The other thing that concerns me is how much of America is owned by the Chinese and others.

    It looks to me like some companies know some of us consumers like to see that made in USA label. The rub is they are not American companies. Bosh, Sharp, Toyota, BMW. It's probably still a monetary thing. Japan has a higher labor rate, and I suspect so does Germany, but another level of sadness. Made is USA by foreign companies............
