Aid to the Detroit-based automotive industry tops this week’s “America’s Business with Mike Hambrick.” Republican Rep. Candice Miller of Michigan speaks to the economic importance of the industry; her congressional district represents all three of the big American automakers.

Lack of internet security costs businesses millions of dollars every year. On the program this week is Larry Clinton, President of the Internet Security Alliance, addressing key issues of cybersecurity. Larry says the big threat to the Internet no longer comes from teen-age “hackers” but instead from various forms of organized crime.
The out-of-control system of civil justice adds billions to the costs of doing business in the United States and leaves real victims in the lurch. One possible reform would be to implement a "Loser Pays" system used by most of the rest of the world. It would make the loser of a legal case responsible for the other side’s legal fees, discouraging the filing of frivolous lawsuits. Explaining the concept and practical application is Marie Gryphon, senior fellow with the Center for Legal Policy at the Manhattan Institute. She’s the author of a new study, “Greater Justice, Lower Cost: How a ‘Loser Pays’ Rule Would Improve the American Legal System.”
We'll also have part two of Mike’s interview with Newsweek and Washington Post columnist Bob Samuelson. Bob has a new book entitled, “The Great Inflation and its Aftermath: The Past and Future of American Affluence>

Rep. Joe Donnelly says you are hurting American manufacturers and jobs when you buy a bootleg DVD or fake Rolex watch on the street corner. Donnelly, a guest on this week’s “America’s Business with Mike Hambrick” radio program, introduced a bipartisan bill to battle product piracy in the United States and abroad.
“It takes intellectual property theft much more seriously (and) creates stronger law enforcement network to fight it so that we can stand up for our manufacturers and make sure our ingenuity and ideas are protected,” the Indiana Democrat said.
Freelance reporter Phaedra Hise returns to the program to talk about her Popular Mechanics magazine article on five American manufacturing success stories. The owner of one the companies profiled in her story – Drew Greenblatt of Marlin Steel Wire Products in Baltimore – will also appear on the program.
Manufacturers are scrambling to find well-trained workers. Mike will talk with an executive from Die-Tech metal stamping company in Pennsylvania about an innovative program they use to sharpen employee skills.
You can tune into “America’s Business” this week to find out how the recently enacted, $168-billion economic stimulus plan will benefit McCutcheon's Apple Products in Maryland. And Sandra Westlund-Deenihan, president of Quality Float Works in Illinois, will join Mike to discuss the advantages U.S. manufacturers will gain from a pending trade pact with Colombia.

And the National Association of Manufacturers President Gov. John Engler will close the program with “The Last Word” when he talks about why innovation is so vital to America’s future. - America's Business: March 8, 2008 (Streaming Audio)
