China 'to overtake US on science' in two years

There was a time when "made in America" resulting in having confidence in the product. Not any more.

When I read "made in America", unfortunately I immediately think that I paid too much and start getting worried about the quality.

It saddens me to think like this, but I am honest here.

Recently I was in the market for a new car. Coming from a Prius, I wanted to look at the newer technology cars.

Chevy Volt looked interesting. But I had some hesitation. To to be perfectly honest, I would have felt a lot better if it were a Toyota Volt or a Honda Volt.

I know I should not think that way, but I do.
