Bye Bye retirement fund

Well I see in the washington times that the money starved Bush administration is planning to dip into the federal retirement fund to keep from raising the national debt again..Never in history has the govt. paid back any funds with anything but IOU'S which are worthless because they are never redeamed. So bye bye 655 Bln. I don't see anything that indicates that our economic base is going to get healthy with the Republicans outsourcing everything. Our manufacturing base is in complete shambles..Small businesses are fine, but they are not likely to provide the manufacturing ability this country needs in time of war..There will always be a need for heavy manufacturing and hopefully we don't have to depend on some global company to provide it..If you don't believe this then just check the names on the heavy equipment you see everywhere.
