The "land of opportunity" seems to mean opportunity for european and
other overseas firms to rape and raid, then cry when we try to do
something about it. Time to slam the damn gates and block out all
imports without vey, very heavy duties. The US was not made to be a
dumping ground for ****ty scabby companies in other countries. We
have no friends among european countries, only profiteering *******s
that can't see any further than their own useless interests.

And the press runs with the lemmings to back up the conservative lies.

...and if the import police were to tour your house, how much of YOUR
stuff
is imports? Laws will NEVER be passed to limit imports, it has to come
from
a public awareness that their money is going away rather than paying their
neighbor's wages and strengthening American companies. American companies
have a hard time competing when they have to drag greedy unions that don't
have a clue how to be anything but adversarial. Sorry, but when the union
says that I have to pay a floor sweeper or a button pusher $20 / hr plus
benies, they are DESTROYING American manufacturing more that the plant
closers and importers.

Ask Lennie the Lurker aka aka Richard A. Buege aka Dick
the Hypocrite what brand of mini-mill he owns. He's posted about it here
plenty-o times.

Not to mention he's criticized gunner for off topic posts such as this one.
He even claims to have plonked gunner because of it.

Did you see his pathetic attempt to use his daughter's unfortunate plight to
further his political claims? Some father.

You could even ask him about the corporation he claims to hate though he
worked there the many years and is collecting retirement from.

At least THAT would have metalworking content.
