In each recession I've lived through, our industry is one of the first to feel its effects and one of the last to recover from such.

As always, smaller shops that do business along the lines of the largest shops will fall pretty fast, but if the recession lasts for an extended period, it's likely bigger and bigger shops will fall by the wayside and to that, I point to the facts.

Our gov gave away most of the US manufacturing base in America and the countries like china, india and saudia arabia are making a killing.

I'd also point to our housing market and how our gov allowed all the nonsense there to proliferate--so they could reap billions more in taxes, as the houses skyrocketed, construction materials and everything associated with it grew, filling gov coffers, which they promptly spent on war, while cutting social services and giving even more tax breaks to the wealthy.

If any of you see how America can recover when it gave away so much, I for one would like to know.

What all Americans allow our gov to do in our name will be used against US.

Business in America, working hand in hand with gov, congress and the lobbiests that control our congress are killing the goose that laid the golden egg--America.

If Americans get less pay because of illegals, then that is less the businesses in America can depend on. In other words, how are Americans going to afford to support all these flooring stores if so many more are paid a lot less?

A long time ago--1971, it was just one entity getting away with such, but it has now become common practice for all American co's to do.

If America has something like the lanufacturing sector to bring us out of recession, I'd sure like to know what it is.
