This is exactly what's wrong with the US of A!
In Response To: Rocna Warning? ()

It tells it all. We need to start bringing jobs back to this country. Our economy needs it, our environment needs it and our people need the opportunity to purchase quality items. There's something wrong when I find a garden hose that's "Made in the US of A" and get all excited about it. You can hardly ever find anything made here. In Manzanilla there are 5 generating facilities right across the bay that burn tons of high sulfur oil without any scrubbers. That stuff goes right up into the atmosphere and back down on us. We shipped half the jobs to Mexico and the other half to China. At least if we had not regulated the companies out of the country we could have, at least, required some degree of pollution control. Now we have no jobs and no ability to control the pollution. How dumb is that. Am I the only one who sees this???
