    Wow, you must win the gold medal often in jumping to conclusions. Not sure what you being born as has anything to do with anything, or me stopping you from speaking your piece. See I don't need to censor you, if I don't like what you say, I can simply ignore you or skip your post. Thankfully I enjoy being amused by people like yourself who make assumptions an jump to conclusions. So cheer up Buttercup. Your in no fear of me censoring you. Unlike the majority of people, I actually do agree with that whole "I may not agree with what you have to say, but will fight for your right to say it" line of thought.

    It turns out google translate might have been able to decipher your post...did you mean perhaps you were born here? So was I. Ironic eh? Nice thing about that whole Bill of Rights an Constitution it applies to all who live here, regardless of where they were born.

    For future reference to yourself, or anyone else...if you don't like my posts...skip them or ignore me. My life will go on regardless of you being upset or not. ;) Save yourself the anger, replies etc, an just put me on ignore if you don't like what I have to say.

    Here let me cover all the political bases..

    Ironic considering your two posts in this thread. If that upsets you see the images above. Carry on with your free speech, don't be surprised when others do the same.

    Back to the topic...

    The issue isn't Chinese vs. American made goods. The issue is fraud. They contracted for one thing and delivered another.
    To give an idea how picky the government is on fraud, here is an article about a local compy's owners facing fraud charges.
    Tomahawk missile contractors in Fenton accused of false statements to feds

    Their crime? Them make housings for Tomahawk missiles engines. Instead of doing the welding in-house they (allegedly) farmed the welding out to another company.about 30 miles away. Not even another state, much less another country....

    Ironically the company the welding was actually contracted to (Williams International) is a major defense contractor that specializes in components for cruise missiles.
