MSNBC - Cheney to pitch nuclear reactors during China trip

MSNBC - Cheney to pitch nuclear reactors during China trip

Let's nuke up China and help turn around this crazy trade deficit thang. Well thank God we are sending the brains of the Bush White House to China. Cynicaly I wonder if the Oil crowd in washington is doing this because China's growing demand for world oil is causing peple to talk about hybrid cars and conservation here at home. That type of thing could certainly hurt the Bush's and Cheney's pocketbook couldn't it.

Of course, setting up a bunch of nuclear reactors in China could help out American industry by allowing us to build some of that capacity in China. Plus we could show them how to build a huge wate site in a mountain. Likely it would send soe dollars and jobs home but what if the American compaies just decide to make all the parts for the reactors right in China? And what if instead of using American know how they decide to hire far cheaper help from the out of work Rusian scientists of the former Soviet Union block?

Based on the recrd of this administration in creating high paying jobs here in the United States, I have my doubts. How come they keep focusing on other peoples infrastructure like China and Iraq--inst4ead of building up the United States' capacity? That is a question we should all think about when we cote this November.
