If anyone's truly interested in this stuff, there are more websites and newpaper articles. There are untold thousands of jobs lost here, and thousands of families ruined. My family was absolutely devastated in large part as a result of jobs being lost to foreign countries. Sorry if this is too hard to take. I'm just now learning to deal with it. TFlan, Whew! That was a lot said. That serves to illustrate a suspicion that I've had for a long, long time. The United States is on a downhill curve thanks to a relatively few priveleged elite. They will sell out the entire US to make a profit for themselves and use some bullshit talk about how it will improve the economy. They just don't say whose economy. Our national debt keeps growing (read: the money we owe other nations because of trade imbalance) yet instead of tightening up and protecting our own. It's profit in the short run and ruin in the long run. This starts in the homes and the schools and permeates our entire society. The US is almost 230 years old but may not make it to 300 years, at least not that would be recognizable by any of us. Rich "Mac" McHattie    Mac's Golf
