Stupid post. The cause of the US economy falling apart was the American obsession with what they call freedom. The company directors and the like, through greed turned freedom into anarchy, and they were allowed to because a gullible majority saw it as the directors' right to do so. Freedom remember. These directors were given free rein to rape and plunder their companies and take huge, unjustified bonuses in the name of freedom.

Thats's why Mr Smith can't buy anything American, the companies just can't compete. It looks like even those ugly great Chrysler vehicles are going to be made by Fiat soon.

By the way, Obama has an American birth certificate
