[Penn Digger]

Seriously, I just read a report that the new 30 foot Martin Luther King statue unveiled in DC recently was made/carved in China!!! Your thoughts?

[] You are correct, but what else is new! Ya cant hardly buy anything made in the U.S.A. since a lot of our industry has been sent out of the country. The Mfgrs all want us to pay their prices, but want to make everything in china so they make even more money, and do not want to pay a living wage here. dont get me started, All the Multinational companies that do business here are selfish money grubbing crooks. We are going to go back to before the turn of the century when the robber barons ran this country if the Republicans and some sellout Democrats get their way.Andy

was made/carved in China

that's the least of the contraversies behind that memorial.
But remember its DC , its all ok.

A statue of an icon of human rights made in a country where human rights are largely ignored? Makes sense to me.. they probably just reworked an extra statue of Mao they had lying around.. [&:]

thats just pathetic...............nothing is made here anymore[][]and the worst part is,you have to pay more for something thats made here than something thats imported[:'(]..............maybe its cause things made in the U.S are so rare[8|]

http://www.apfn.org/APFN/woes.htm Heres an old article that gives the real reason we have the problems we have, as the author has said it's just a simple 5th grade civics lesson. The problem isn't a republican or a democrat problem, they both are responsible AS ARE WE!!!

Looks like ole Richard M. Nixon got the last laugh after all...one of the things he did was get China to do "business" with us and boy are we getting the "business" now![8D] JAMIE
