When Budweiser was sold to foreigners, I realized that America won't be returning to its former greatness. I don't drink their product but when they've come for your manufacturing, your beer and your food then you are in serious trouble. You can blame it on any politician you want, but I point my finger at greedy CEOs and investors. If we were isolated by war the way we were in the Forties, we could not survive.
