I wasn't talking about any kind of government support. I was talking about doing our best to buy American-made products when possible/reasonable.

As I get older I tend to lean toward what I think (?) the founders' view points were - smaller & simpler government.

I do think that SOME corporations (manufacturing/financial) have simply grown too large. I don't think the founders ever foresaw a company being so large that its demise could actually damage the U.S. economy.

(Sorry Chris ... this is leaning toward politics ... I'll shut up now)
