sdfletch,
My apologies to you. You have a right to your opinion as well.
Just by way of explanation: I posted this thread in the Kirkham Motorsports area to keep what some people think as "political nonsense" to a minimum. Some people may think this has nothing to do with our little world of cool cars...but it does.
Did you know this site mentioned Kit Car Magazine went out of business a short while ago? Crane, as in Crane Camshafts went out of business last week--they were in business for 56 years. Roy Hunt of Finish Line Motorsports went out of business 2 weeks ago. A friend of mine went to collect past due amounts from an unnamed major aftermarket wheel manufacturer and when he showed up the water company was there shutting the water off. We ALL know someone who has lost their job.
This is not a partisan issue. I didn't like Bush's bailout boondoggle (where's THAT money?) any more than I am a fan of Obama's. The problem with attempting to wallpaper the earth with dollar bills is the printing press bearings will someday seize--maybe sooner than we think. Congress has long since past the red line on the printing press and yet they keep dialing up the "boost" in an attempt to print even faster--all the while promising bread and circuses, lining their re-election coffers, and bathing in the lard.
Surely, inflation can not be far behind. Sinking the dollar is not a good way to run the country--no matter what party is in charge. One day you must pay the piper--sadly, that day seems to have arrived. These issues directly affect this industry.
