Beyond Obamacare, I expect a second Obama term to bring a massive increase in federal regulations on business, and particularly manufacturing and we may also see "card-check" legislation raise it's ugly head again.

Between the increased cost and regulatory burden and the possibility of forced unionization, asking US companies to bring their factories back here may be tantamount to asking the to put a gun to their head.

Wouldn’t be surprise did they (government) try the “if you build it they will come” mentality. I can see them try to build facilities that don’t quite meet end user spec. Just like the “we can educate our way out of this”. No, grads move to states/countries with jobs. Likewise, they’ll move/leave their factories to better environs.
