THE FOLLOWING IS JUST MY OPINION OF THIS WHOLE THING...To "monkey" I suggest you are carefull making statements like this about America I am proud to be an American. According to your statements here it is only because of China that America is up and functioning which is nothing but "Bull". You make it sound that the Chinese paid of our National Debt and because of them it is now $000.00 and that they are runnning our country behind the curtains which again is "Bull". As an American I am sure if China disappeared today-tomorrow would still come and go on as usual! The past 10 years has been not a benefit IN MY OPINION but a time of scrutiny and actions from the United States Trade Representatives, the American Iron & Steel Institute as well as I believe some actions from the European Union back in 2008 and maybe other times I don't know.. It is also my OPININ that the Chinese were monopolizing the scrap steel trade as well as the largest purchasers of scrap Iron in the world market, what it is today I am not sure, but I can only guess. This awhile back anyway I believe the Chinese caused the price of steel to raise to such a price that our American Union and Non union companies that depended on steel to make their products, could not afford to pay the price that it was elevated to and many companies had to lay off American employees and some companies couldn't afford to keep making their products with steel prices being so high, what the situation is today about that I can only guess. I am saying all my statements are "MY OPINION" but it is what I have supported by Industry Printed Reports. So don't say we have to be thank ful to the Chinese goverment for anything reguarding the United States and especially not making statements of being pulled out of hot water by those guys. When they buy GOOD Iron from the U.S.A. and mix a bunch of alloys to increase the volume and then sell it back to us in tools that are inferior in my opinion to 'American Made' tools and recently more into the production machine market as well. We know that tools and equipment hat has been scrutinized and has to follow tight tolerances and top functunality. The United States of America as well as many European countrieslike Switzerland, United Kingdom, i/e Graet Britain and Canada, Itally just to name a few, sorry if I left you out but I can only take up som much space still take pride in what they produce. I have saved the documentation through the last several years that as I readit create these opinins of mine-I didn't pull it out of my...HAT. It's not quantity produced it's quality. So don't make the comment that China rescued the United States of America, PERIOD. Also as far as others postings, "STATING FACTS IS NOT BASHING." I felt this had to be said and I hope it is within the guidelines and I would like to continue using this sight but if I am found to be out of the quideline rules, it shouldn't be and if it is found so, I guess it had to be said.
