Hi John, Actually the driving force of that focus is called the economic policy. In other words, for years the Republican party has been intoning its mantra that taxing dividends (Capital Gains) is a bad thing. What is left is to trade shares in the expectation of their price rise (which is the strategy you describe above). So let's put the blame where it belongs, on the Administration and the current power in the House and Senate. Talk about gutless losers. good stuff sniped What significant packages are being hefted onto the table? Cut Medicare is being muttered. That will fix Hospital costs. What about fixing the $Trillion loss of Social Security? Easy, spend $Trillion for a new system, and -um- another $Trillion to keep the old system going. The new system will bring the boon of half the benefits (a new form of math that revealed in the numbers above used to be called cost inflation). What pathetic, gutless, losers. 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC Hi Richard Your right of course, but I'm not sure who is leading who in this case. I can't tell Wall Street or the administration apart. It gets me is so many that are being or will be hurt by the current administration, are so sure it will not happen to them that they still vote for the current administration. I like the headline in an European paper when Bush was reelected, "How could 250000 people be so stupid" or something close to that, I ask myself the same thing. -- John Passaneau, W3JXP Penn State University |

Probably they meant 250,000,000 (our approximate national population) rather than 250,000. They were wrong again, as usual. Total votes cast were approx 114,000,000 Since we were split so evenly, politically, there were only half the total that were stupid and that gets it down to approx. 57,000,000. Unfortunately, we probably won't be able to agree on which half was the stupid half. HWB |

When did Amphenol shift from 'Made In USA' to 'Assembled In Mexico'? The whole reason for buying Amphenol was to: A) Enjoy that Amphenol quality. (BTW, they don't even look the same. The dielectric has a cheap milky recycled look and the name and model nr. are no longer stamped into the sleeve ring.) B) Support products 'Made In USA'. Ok, this was my two minute rant. Tnx fer listening. 73 de Bert WA2SI FISTS #9384 QRP ARCI #11782 If the product was built in the USA the price would be so High you would not purchase it. Would you really pay %500 more for the same product just to have Made in USA stamped on it? We always look for the bargain price and that usually means foreign produced products. Moving production to Mexico where manufacturing cost are lower allows Amphenol to remain in business. These days Mexico is being undersold by China where the cost are less than that of Mexico. BS! There are connector houses who assemble in the US on custom order and they are no more expensive than the assembled in Mexico parts. Amphenol went to Mexico to get away from the union that was breaking their back! Exactly, the Unions demands were driving the labor cost to the point where they were not able to compete, so the moved the operation to Mexico where it was not an issue. Which matters no one whit any more. The Commies in Red China have discovered that by massivley subsidizing their industries, they can undercut the Mexicans or whoever else wants to compete with them. Eventually there is a bill to be paid, but will we survive it? Will they build our tanks for us when we are a total service economy? Ya know, *they* don't like those demanding unions either! - Mike KB3EIA - |

Well, just check the folks who show up at Bush's so-called Town Hall Meetings. Amazing... bob k5qwg |

No, they disagree, often for very good reasons. The people who are stupid, or at least ignorant, are the ones who think that there is no room for disagreement. tom K0TAR |
