3. What are Clinton and Obama doing about it?
They're both incumbents in a Senate with a Dem majority. Has any of them introduced or co-sponsored a bill to help the economy or save US workers jobs?

No?

If they're not doing anything to fix the problem now, why should we believe they'll suddenly change if elected to the WH? Sorry, but I don't think they will.

7. I wonder how many people here know that quality and gas mileage reports on
Japanese cars are as honest as a republican state of the union address.
