Here we sit with high unemployment, a sagging economy and our jobs moving overseas. The sad fact of the matter is, it's cheaper to send ore from the mines to the harbors, to ships across the ocean, to steel mills and back again than it is to make steel here. It's less expensive, pound for pound, to buy a foreign-made car than it is to buy a U.S. made car. The only people hollering for us to buy products made in the U.S.A. anymore are the unions, and they're the ones who chased all of the jobs out of the country.
Just stop to think: We're the ones who have the expertise and the resources; we should be selling our American-made cars to the rest of the world.
Now, our government is exacerbating the problem by piling on taxes and costly regulations. That's why we have offshore marketing and manufacturing, and that's why the American economy is not cooking and people are out of work. The only way to make the economy cook again is to reduce manufacturing and supply costs, cut through the massive red tape, reduce wages and benefits to competitive levels, and create a tax system that once again encourages investment in our country.
In order to accomplish these things, we need to clean the rats out of Washington D.C. Don't you think it's time we started?
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
