    Lets hope he can turn things around for america, manufacturing is consumer driven if we all stopped buying cheap tat perhaps quality and craftmanship can take its place, pay more for built to last and only buy what you need.
    Just inherited my wifes grandads tools he was a wheelwright and coach builder you can see where his hands have worn the handles through years of work, got the wooden planes he used mounted in the lounge room for display .

    I hope he doesn't bail out the American car manufacturers if they need it again. No more American cars for me. I went from an auto mechanic, machinest, machine rebuilding, machine building, building machines to manufacture parts for the us army m1 Abrams tank, building 155mm howitzers for the us army, lead engineering tech. My point is nothing is recession proof. I just kept on changing my trade.

    lets not forget...gm and chrysler were bailed out with government help. ford was not. im not saying they dont have issues, but dont lump them in that mess. they did it on their own.

    Hey Donald all ya need to do is fire 3/4 of the government do nothings that dream up regulations so business can't survive in the states, put them to work manufacturing, you can repair the infrastructure with the $$ saved, put tariffs back in place to keep that Chinese junk outa here. Oh ya, balance the budget while you're at it, we're only 2 trillion in debt.
