Somebody better hope that we get manufacturing, again going in the US. Realize that we (US, both private and public) are horribly in debt. The only way to repay debt is with newly created wealth. The only way to create wealth is with value added activities (manufacturing, construction, mining, agriculture). A doctor does not create wealth, a sales clerk does not create wealth, a lawyer does not create wealth ... a banker creates money (not wealth) but the money is balanced by new debt.
We need to get more value added activities going, ASAP, in this country, or we we are toast as a country. Breast beating will not do it.. wallowing in the past will not do it ... corporations that outsource are the problem .. not the solution
