[CW] Made in USA

[Danny Douglas]

I lived over there 20 plus years.  I saw money coming in,  I also saw money
going out, to buy some US goods, but the outgoing from the states was more
than the income from selling to those countries.  If it were not for the
military industrial complex, )arms and ammo) we would be much worse off.
But then, the arms and ammo are what are being used for those countries to
kill each other.

I wish they were buying keys and mikes (slap me!), but thats not what they
want.  Even when we give away money or food, it seldom completely makes it
to those in need.  If we truly had a world economy of equality, there
wouldnt be millions dying of starvation on an annual basis.
