Can Somebody Tell Me-----------

This has been going on for decades.  We have several weapons manufacturing projects that occur with the following pattern:

1.  Military identifies need
2.  Person of dual Israeli-American citizenship working in the pentagon hires Israeli corp to do the R&D
3.  Manufacturing facility build in Israel with American tax dollars
4.  Israeli workers hired to produce American weapons (also paid by American tax dollars)
5.  Israeli corporation sells finished goods to our military at a premium price, but they don't pay American taxes, they pay taxes to the Israeli government
6.  Israel sells technology to China, India, Russia, and/or North Korea.

And your just worried about a few tankers?

Good Morning KSH, it is good to see you post again and even better to see some common sense on this subject.

I personally do not like to listen to or read ignorance. I'm not for a plane made in Russia, China or wherever in the hell it would be made. Personally when it comes time to fix or repair, the men and women doing this job don't need a translator to read what part goes where. Is this a landing gear? Hell no, it's the throttle. Therefore, I'm for AMERICAN TANKERS!

And I'm not going to listen to somebody's ignorant ideas from Canada or wherever the hell they could get welfare!

MR. Kshillbillys

No point in posting really, but you are ignorant judging by your remarks that you don't read ignorance.  Not every post that disagrees with you is ignorance.  Also, be careful treading down a path where you think everything should be made in the US, you might not like the outcome.  Also, just for the record I am from the US, I live in Canada and no I cannot get welfare even if I wanted it as I am sponsoring my wife for permanent residency.  I realize that you will either dispute this or not read but I don't really care.

Dear Ignorant Jerry, I know your name. I have read your posts for a couple of years. I also know your previous home in Howard the big purple house with white trim, the garage that has either fell down or is still in the process of falling down. I know you moved to Canada. As far as for you sponsoring your wife for citizenship is that in Canada or in the US? I just assumed that one that was on welfare here would be on welfare there, unless they don't have welfare in Canada. Get off your ass and get a job son. And just for the record, I didn't say EVERYTHING should be made in the US, but when it comes to our defense program, I believe that every damn bit of our equipment should be US made, of the highest quality and I don't give a damn WHAT it costs! Put that in your liberal peace pipe...

I can't believe people are insulting eachother and I'm not involved.  KS, I agree with you on the issue of manufacturing things at home, however I'm not sure why you have so much animosity towards other people.  Maybe you need a puff on the peace pipe!

At any rate, I've always been a firm believer of buying American made products, and since we are on the subject, I wanted to link you a few interesting sites.

Through May 2010, the US Trade Deficit is running at a 474.4 Billion Dollar deficit, on annualized basis. Again I think we have given up enough jobs to other countries. We need to put our people back to work and reduce the trade deficit.

I totally agree.  I am all for trade with other nations, but come on now, this bozo in washington needs to get off his ass and start making some smart decisions to create jobs.  First thing would be to cut taxes on businesses.  That would go a whole lot farther and faster in creatingjobs than just hiring everyone to work for the government.  Government employees are not producers. They suck the life out of the country.

Steve, our trade deficit with China is averaging 18.7 Billion a month. Our Trade deficit overall is ruining the value of the dollar and will ultimately push the dollar down and the price of Oil and all other imported goods higher.
