H1 - THE RHODE ISLAND JEWISH HERALD, THURSDAY, JA NUARY 30, I 992 AROUND TOWN Americans Must Support America Story and photos by Dorothea Snyder

On a visit to the Jewish Family Service Kosher Mealsit e Program at Temple Torat Yisrael in Cranston, coordinated by Gladys Kaplan, participants were asked what President Bush and the American people should do to improve our economy.

Shirley Weiss: " Bu sh has to try to do more for our economy. He flip -fl ops all over th e place. I'm afraid what's goi ng to happen wi ll be all political moves. This really frightens me because I ca n see what's happening to our economy here. As a business owner, I know it 's happening to us. I think Americans should buy Harold Fishman: "We should take care of things here in the United States to American items first. If we don't buy our own and build our own economy, we're improve the economy. I think Bu sh made a big mistake going to Japan . It 's very never going to make it. I'm firml y convi nced Americans must support the hard to understand that in 50 years the two co untries defeated by the United Ameri can economy. I've always beli eved tha t. I'm a World War II veteran, and I States are now so economica ll y powerful. This is something which should never just cannot see buying anything from any other country. That's the only way we have happened. Reagan and Bu sh started all our problems. Fifty years ago, you can strengthen the economy. Bush should pay a little more attention to what's could buy a nice house for between $12,000 and $15,000. That same house today happening at home, and clean up government on all levels. " costs over $100,000. Cars are the same way. In 1980, I bought a ca r for $6,000. That same ca r today is $15,000. Where is all the sense to this? In order for people to keep up, there has to be two working parents. That leaves the children out in the cold as far as discipline is concerned. It's not the sa me as having one parent at home. I would really love to see us go back to the good old days, when there were more values. I sin cerely beli eve it would make a wonderful change from what we have today."

Alice Peisach: "I don't think Bush has any idea of what the middle man or the working man feels . I think he was wrong in sending billions of dollars to other countries, while our own people are out in the streets. They're in shelters. I don't think there's been as many soup kitchens as there are today. I don't think the Republicans understand the working man. I think we have to get rid of Bush. I Ben Angert: "We all know how much time Bush has spent on international don't see how it's going to get any better if he stays as president. It's important to affairs. He doesn't seem to respond to the American people the way he should. write to our senators and representatives about improving the economy. Bush What we Americans can do is change the entire outfit of politicians, get rid of the thought his popularity would stay because of the war, but that disappeared when ones that aren't doing anything, and put in those we think will do something. We people lost jobs, their homes, and have nothing to eat. Years ago, we wanted our were told by Japan that our people are lazy and receive high pay. I believe the kids to have better lives than we had. If you had a job and worked your way up, Japanese are right about American people being lazy because we're spoiled. We you stayed with that company for 65 years, and even got a gold watch. There's no had it too good in the last 20 or 30 years. Look at the money spent on gambling, job security today. I feel so bad for those kids starting out, who have had homes, football, a hundred million dollars spent making movies. Attention isn't paid to and all of a sudden, there's nothing. I think that's terrible. We're in a bad way detail. The idea is to produce every minute the car is being made. The Japanese are right ,~ow. I really think if a democratic president gets in, it would be better than running American automobile factories with American people, and they're doing now a terrific job. American people working under Japanese management aren't lazy anymore, which goes to prove that their ways are 100% better than ours."

Morris Gorden: "I just hope President Bush stays healthy; otherwise, we're in Harry N2sh: "There isn't much that Bush can do unless he does what he says, and trouble. Bush is no bargain. We would be in for serious problems with Quayle as keeps his word. He won his election on a lie, "Read My Lips." He has actually president. The more Bush talks, the worse he gets. I just can't see the logic to 90% done nothing. Even the Desert War was wrong. Companies losing their shirts of the things he says. I thought Reagan was bad, but Bush is 40 times worse,- It should be backed up to the point where they can go back into business. The only doesn't make sense that we've given other countries so much money, and nothing way to do that is to stop importing Japanese products and manufacture our own. for the poor people in America. They say Bush is a global president. Do what you Products are being manufactured in Mexico. No more American TV sets will be want there, but stick to your own country. He had no reason to go to Japan. Each made here. You can't buy American. Parts are being made outside, even if the day gets worse. I'd like to see Bush get his mind back on the United States, not on product is manufactured in this country. Stop buying Japanese goods. Buy foreign affairs. We need a democratic president. I'm not sure people will buy American . One TV commentator spoke about people driving foreign cars into American. People are very selfish. If they can benefit themselves, they're going to their jobs at American auto businesses. Are there rainbows out there over the buy a Japanese car, or an Italian car, whichever is _c_heaper. It's complicated to economic clouds? Maybe you can see rainbows, but there isn't any pot of gold at figure out how things will improve, but something has to be done." the end of it!
