These things ***have not*** been tried, Dickey.... Or at least not in the good ol' US of A... What I have proposed ***will*** go a long ways toward elliminating pverty... What I have proposed is a public/private patrnership where small business's are crippled by having to do all the lifting and where workers will be subsidized to bring them and their families above the poverty line...

Tell me again just how what I have proposed has been tried before...

As for "Boss Hog" investing the dough that Bush gave him in new factories, sure, there is ***some*** domestic investment but not at the levels that is bringing the US economy back into a "ptoduction" economy... Jobs are being lost steadily in manufacturing... Finding a few new plants doesn't change that reality...

As for the door, I know the guy at the building supple joint purdy well... His brother is a neighbor... Ain't no mix up here... Just a good ol' fashion corporate screwin' of the independent builder... Happens all the time... Sub-contractors and suppliers serve "Boss Hog Builders, Inc." 1st!!! That, my friend, is another case of reality...
