In fact, car companies are in the process of moving more European car manufacture to the US, namely Mercedes, and Volvo, due to the declining dollar. Of course the European cars are now made by companies that have both US and Euro identity: Daimler-Chrysler, Ford-Volvo.

IMHO, this country needs to develop alternative energy sources. It would represent a technology that we could develop into the next manufacturing base and would generate jobs in both R&D and blue collar sectors. Savings would of course accrue from the decreased need for military activity in the middle east, in the Caspian region. This should have been developed over the previous twenty years. It is clear that neither Dems or Repubs were really interested in it and no one talks about it now. We could all be tiling our roofs with solar panels that generate electric power.

<<never thought I'd live through another time when people were so short sighted, but here we are again>>

Over the past couple years of bear market conditions, the pundits often commented about the glass either looking "half-full" or "half-empty" to bulls vs. bears.

Now that the economy is showing signs of new life, the bears seem to be more actively proclaiming the glass is "completely empty"----or is this just my imagination in an election year?
