I agree with OrgunFarmer and others...if the elite would put some of their windfall back into mentoring small businesses and helping them manufacture in the US, it would go a long way to help our nation's recovery.

As it stands, the present administration (national + local) is doing nothing to make this happen. America's resume is looking lazy. We are good at manufacturing guns, cigarettes, and liquor.

In the infamous words of "Rosie The Riveter", We Can Do It. "Yes We Can" now makes me think of canned political lunchmeat. "Yes We Can...Say What You Want To Hear, But Do Nothing About It."
