I don;t fuck with protectionism regardless of whose selling it. Don't even know where to begin my gripes about the american left, a misnomer if there ever were one. It's centrism with laudable social goals...but something has to pay the bills amiright?
I do think that sending jobs overseas and outsourcing are counterproductive...but certainly not when we're competing on cost. If you can't beat em for pennies on the dollar (and we can't, no matter what we do), bury em under superior quality - is my take. I;m certainly not trying to compete with canned beans in my own personal search for a more sustainable future. I'd have gone broke a long time ago.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
