New Govt program to Save Most Important Industry

This is an urgent request; since the government has made it their policy to inject endless gobs of cash in industries and companies that they decide as 'too big to fail" OR "too important, and must be saved" I have finally found the groups that must be saved at all costs, even if it means the end of TARP, TELP, TARP II, etc...

The industry I'm talking about is so important, has been an intricate part of America, and the advancement on the whole world. The industry is so interwoven with others; and yes it will lead to saving a few others as well. But, is not the growth of America worth it? Shouldn't we do our best to save the companies that built the middle class, the ones that brought people together and moved us to the industrial giant we are today? There is NO price too high, we must save America...

The industry I speak of is of course the wagon wheel makers. The makers of wagon wheels are specialist and it is not the unskilled labour jobs that will replace them like working at Walgreens or Wendy's. These companies spend a lot of capital to acquire their materials and the other industries that depend on them is nothing short of a long list of pro-American companies.

If we dare to let the Wagon Wheel makers go out of business the ripples in the economy will be felt for a long, long time. Can you even image what can happen?

• First we would lose the Wagon Wheel companies and all their skilled labour out on the streets
• Second, The The Covered Wagon makers from St. Louis to Armadillo would have to shut their doors in a matter of weeks from lack of inventory---all those workers then laid off (NOTE: need more unemployment benefits).
• Third, all of the other suppliers of parts to the covered wagons would stop production because of lack of orders.
• Fourth, The great wagon trains would come to an end. The United States would be a group of isolated areas with very little traveling-
• Fifth, the social havoc that would come next from all those guys named "Cookie" no longer on the trail hanging around living off government assistance.
• Sixth, with no travel by covered wagon we would have no need for frontier towns, gold rush or even the Internet (since we would just be hanging around with no mobility).
• Seventh, the end of the Wagon Wheel Coffee Tables- Without them more marriages would not end in divorce -no need for lawyers (a whole different profession touched by this madness.
• Eighth, Probably the most important industry in the country, one that must never be allowed to fail- The Buggy Whip Makers- will no longer be needed...THIS CAN NOT HAPPEN. Can you imagine a county without Buggy Whip Makers on every corner?

There are countless other industries and parts of the society that will be destroyed as so many groups are on the spokes of the Wagon Wheeler Makers. It is not an understatement to say without these Wagon Wheeler Makers the Country will stop moving forward- a new dark age may come about---your grandchildren will not forgive you if you let them go under and then they are stuck trying to find some solution in their generation.

Please stop the madness and demand that the President Obama and the US Congress nationalize the Wagon Wheel Industry to save us all..
