Did I say all that? Wow,I must have been sleep posting. Or,are you assuming many things just like you did with Clintin's so called 'engineered surplus'? Hmmm... You know I was not a great fan of the man during his Presidency. Overall I think he did a good job. And yet when comparing his record to that of the current President I have come to the conclusion that Bill Clintin did a great job. Amazing isn't it? Hindsight is always 20/20. Getting back to your point of Clintin's "engineered surplus". Lets assume for a second you are right. Now in that regard I have to wonder how really bad Bush's engineering skills have been. We all know he is the King of deficit spending and unimaginable unbalanced proportions. And given that,I have to wonder how much he, Bush, swept under the carpet with all his financial engineering skills. Mind you I am only putting a face to the deed. A President is just a figure head for the most part although I have thought Bush might at times be just a headless figure. Surely everyone must feel this way about someone from time to time. It is in trying to understand what you think you know where the trouble begins. Well that remains to be seen so all we can do is wait and see. Aghhh,but the possibilities...,the possibilities. Knowing what you know is hindsight. Give me foresight and give me some truth. Let us leave President Clintin alone and in fairness leave Bush alone too. Let the chips fall where they may. Truth is better than fiction.

BMW’s popular X5, the company has filed suit to prohibit its sale in Germany by the Chinese carmaker. ... the X5 starts at 59,000 euros ($86,830) in Europe; the twin-turbo diesel model on display here goes for 92,000 euros ($126,040). Mr. Schlössl said the CEO would sell for a base price of 25,900 euros ($35,483). nytimes.com I was waiting for that already. In the 80s you'd sedn the blue print to Taiwan Export processing Zone. Print a manual in English and would charge a high price for the high tech product. Taiwanese started making the product themselves. Now Chinese want to make cars themselves and they are going to the high end market segment. A high quality car can nowadays be made without artisans. Same like expensive watches.
