The interesting thing is that while the U.S. consumer is presented with almost everything made in China, I have read some articles that show the Economic slowdown is effecting China more than the U.S. since their economy assumes they can sell much of their goods to the U.S. The problem is that much of the U.S. heavy industry has disappeared and it has been noted that China does not have much of what is called service industries but it would seem to be difficult to buy a Chinese motorcycle with McDonalds cheeseburgers due to the distance involved. I like the business model where the Harley Davison employees bought and own the company. When the employees own the company there is much less of the them/us conflict between employer and unions and a lot more cooperation. Maybe Chrysler should offer the company shares to the workers since it looks like Chrysler is in the weakest position among the auto companies at the moment.

Good Topic!!
The real big problem today is "Greed" How much stuff or money or power is enough? Today America is a land of Tigers ruled by a flock of Butterflys. We and that we means all of us have let the political scene get complettly out of hand. We elect these fools over and over again, no matter how bad or how corrupt they are. It doesn't seem to matter what there past history is we give them a bye when they get up on that podium and tell all of us any lies that they feel will get them re-elected.
Change was needed to the manufacturing plants in this country that were operating in the 50's and 60's. But those changes were for the most part inacted and put into operation, it was just to late. No body cared about all those folks that earned there living in those plants. There was more money to be made by sending those jobs elsewhere. And thats the word "MONEY".
There are major changes coming to this country, the life we know today won't be around for forever, it's going to change weather it changes for the good or the bad is yet to be determined.
For me and a lot of guys like me our glass's are half empty today. I am 63 years old and spent most of my life in the Marine Corps. I was there for 30 years and only wish I could have stayed another 30 years. But those 30 years take a toll on a feller, I've been shot stapped rode hard and put up wet way to many times. That was the price of admission, and I gladly paid that price and still wish it wasn't over for me. But hell everybody gets old sooner or later. But to tell you guys the truth if I had known I was going to live this long I sure would have taken better care of myself. So the changes that are coming are going to be up to you younger guys. It would be nice though to see some folks get there backs up and be pissed at what has happened.
I don't have a clue how to fix the problems we as a country have and are facing. But wouldn't it be great if a "MAN" would step up to the plate with some real ideas?
There is one fact that I do KNOW, maybe getting old does teach even the most hard headed of us, me in paticular, a few things. That fact is this: Of all the things we all deal with in our day to day life, the "LEAST" important by far is money. Don't misunderstand me you hace to have some, but to let it and the love of it rule what you do and don't do is just plan wrong.
