The answer to wasted superiority is simple - cheaper labor equals more
and much bigger profits for the U.S. companies, who happen to be the

Because the Japanese could make a better product for less money, why
shouldn't they take over the industry? They earned it!

The question you should be asking is why the U.S. completely wasted
their superiority.

I watched the transition in the quality of Japanese steel.. from tin can quality
to better than ours (US)..
One of the reasons is that the Japanese government underwrites research and
renovation..

Back maybe 10 or 15 years, I watched a documentary on the steel industry and
they were pointing out that Japan was tearing down it's oldest steel mill and
rebuilding it to be better and efficient... and that the newest steel mill in
the US was almost 100 years old...
Same thing happened to our auto industry... the Japanese did their homework and
found out what the American people wanted and made it..


Sorry, Mac. As much as I dislike Bush, and his bunch of vicious
clowns, this has been going on for FAR longer than he's been a power
in national politics. We might start by blaming Nixon who opened up
modern China to trade. Or go way back and blame, lessee, nearly 60
eyar old history, Commodore Peary for opening up Japan, which
eventually led the way into the rest of Asia. This one has no
political ties of any real importance, though the past seven years
might have seen a bit of a speed boost.

Hang on, Charlie... you're replying to someone that replied to MY post..lol
