Quote from mcwoodduck:
" You and the rest of the liberals should want to mandate that all manufacturing be made in the US."
You need to add conservatives or well maybe republicans instead to that line above.
Yes it is too bad but there is also more than enough silly and over regulating. My point is that sometimes industry has to be prodded a bit to do the right thing, otherwise greed takes over. I graduated from high school in 1973. A classmate of mine already worked part time for the railroad and then full time after graduation. He soon bought a used Cessna. His home airport was about 30 miles south of Wichita, Ks. He use to joke that navigating to Denver was really easy. You took off, turned to the west, by the time you got to cruising altitude you could make out the brown/yellow smudge on the western horizon which was the smog of Denver. Just point the nose of the plane at the smudge and go. That might have been a bit of an exaggeration, but not by much. I am glad we know longer have those problems for the most part.

Ducks Unlimited and Dolphin Safe Tuna are two examples of NON government people comming together and fixing what problems they saw in the market place.
So with Dolphin safe Tuna we did not need governemnt regulations, we had people telling others to only buy fish caught on a line rather than a drift net. And the people responded to save flipper.
If we had a corporation that is polluting people will ban together and boycott the comp[any until they clean up their act.
And it is not the Republican and conservitives that are driving companies off shore, it is the liberals and the Green movement that make it so that companies have to move off shore.
The Company I work for has been assaulted by different government agencies and we explain that the added rules, fines, fees all make it hard to make things in CA and it is hard to explain to the Japanese ownership why we need to stay in CA and not move the plant to Mexico or Arizona. The Liberals (all have Obama Stickers on their cars) tell us to close down our polluting factory and move. We expalin it will loose 300+ california jobs they do not care. So if you can show me where Conservitives openly tell people to move then I will believe that it is a joint effort, untill then all I have seen is Liberals wanting to push any and all manufacturing, refining and mining out of the state.
