3. Obama's infrastructure plan will help us
Edited on Mon Dec-08-08 09:44 PM by doc03
tremendously, our main consumer other than autos is the construction industry. People don't think if not for the steel and auto industry we would be speaking German today. The steel plant I work in produced guns and shells back in WWII. The auto industry turned out tanks, jeeps etc. and Ford build thousands of airplanes. If we lose any more of our manufacturing base this country is finished. Would you believe we used to be the worlds number one steel producer now China produces 6 times what we do.
