Then you say that heavy equipment in the US sells a lot to China, which in no way backs up your original statement. China does not buy a lot of US made equipment because they buy Chinese made equipment. Now you claim that US companies are building their equipment in China. You really have no clue. How does it go from China using a lot of American made heavy equipment to US companies building their equipment in China and sending it back here? And how's that benefiting the US? Wouldn't Peoria be better off if they kept all the jobs there?

Maybe you should have RIROCKHOUND's new baby do your googling for you. It's bound to be better than whatever you're doing.

If I can respond on Spence's behalf...

You're an ignorantracisthatemongerbigotsexisthomophobeislamo phobeintoleranthatecrimes!
