Hiroshima: 1945

Hiroshima and Nagasaki were destroyed by atomic bombs in August 1945, the first and only use of nuclear weapons in the history of the world. Despite the utter devastation inflicted on both cities by those bombs, the progress made by the Japanese during the past 67 years has been astounding.

Detroit: 67 Years After Hiroshima

Something is wrong, folks!
The United States gave Japan $2.44 billion in aid after World War II. We gave them that money to help them rebuild; what are we doing now to help rebuild Detroit?
America is too busy wasting money and resources. We are building infrastructure all over the world, we are building bridges in the Middle East as bullets fly past. We have sent our troops all over the world and are now fighting wars we cannot win when we should be focusing on rebuilding here at home. We need to stop trying to help the rest of the world while our own nation crumbles. We must start focusing on helping ourselves.
Washington, bring our troops home! Our wars are causing us to bleed to death and to debt. Review and cancel all trade pacts that are preventing us from doing what is in our best interest. We must protect our economy from foreign predatory mercantilistic practices calculated to undercut and incapacitate our economy and designed to make us less competitive. Our laws should change to allow us to start producing in America again. Get us out of the foreign run World Trade Organization that won't let us do what is in our own best interest.
Washington, start putting America's best interest before the best interest of multinational corporations and foreign nations! In our present deteriorating condition, we need all the help we can get.
