I find it sadly-amusing that it is US tradition to blame every one else for our problems. Those problems were created here. Not Japan, not Korea, not Mexico, and not China.
I find it even more amusing when people chime in about labor unions historically being the savior of the USA. Less then 1% of the entire US private work force is union - so I guess the other 99 plus percent are all doomed? When companies like Red Wing offer discounts to union members only - I find it insulting to American workers in general.
Opening up the USA via the western frontier was done with Chinese labor. Same with the California Gold Rush. We (non-Asian Americans) treated them horribly and when we felt we didn't need them anymore - Congress created the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. Before that we tried to do it with the Irish and Italians - but many stayed here anyway and became politicians instead of laborers. Ever hear of the 1849 Native American Society, or the Order of the Star Spangled Banner? The Know Nothing Party? The American Party? Back then, "Native Americans" were white protestants and they blamed all our economic woes on Catholics, Irish and Gernam immingrants, "Blockhead Swedes", etc.
We used the up the Chinese and threw them out. Now they are in the their own industrial age on their own land and USA Americans are blaming them for our problems here? Give me a break.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
