Bud, an American Icon, Pursued by Belgian Firm

Post by BruteForce »

All Things Considered, June 12, 2008 · America's "King of Beers" may wind up in the hands of a Belgian brewer.

InBev has made a $46 billion bid for Anheuser-Busch, brewer of Budweiser, Bud Light and Michelob. If the deal goes through, InBev would become the world's largest brewer, adding the iconic American brands to a lineup that includes Stella Artois and Beck's. But the deal is a long way from being final.

At the top/left of this story, note how many other American branded companies have been sold to foreign firms. Like I've said for years, the only jobs Americans will be able to get in the future are:

- McDonalds
- Walmart greeter
- Some outsourced job in India, China or Mexico

Slowly but surely, we're selling our country, jobs and natural resources.

Exxon made 36 million in profits and the news media freaks. Congress demands investigations.

Anyone doing any investigating on "big Beer" like they do "big oil"?

Looks like Cindy McCain is well positioned to add to her Millions on this deal.
