text: the house of cards that this country has become is ready to tumble and the continued loss of manufacturing and production of food is putting us in the same position that destroyed Rome.  The disrespect shown to us by Europe, Russia and even China reflects our weakness.  Today the media controls too much and steers us down the path of destruction.  The old buy American position should be given more attention and the big conglomerate multinational companies need to be controlled instead of controlling us.\nI'm not a socialist but the people need to get the congress to think of us instead of themselves and do something positive like tariff the Chinese goods that are bleeding us dry and also make the auto companies produce more fuel efficient cars and also the multi fuel models at a price the little guy can afford.  Government tax credits for automotive energy cars could put some drive in the move from oil dependency.
