The sad part is, we can't even compete in some areas of production, nevermind science or engineering. Need a giant steel casting for a drop-forging machine weighing 450,000 pounds? Look overseas and wait 6 months or more. Need rolling machinery for a steel plant? Buy it surplus if you can find it or build it yourself. It's sad, but it is true. You folks are among the few who see and appreciate what is happening. Do what you can. Make us proud!
