Half the population with IQ’s below 100 could work and survive when we had a manufacturing base. Now they just suck off the teat. The national defense, social, political and economic problems caused by free trade are not out weighed by saving a few pennies on the dollar at retail. That’s the way I see it, the whole thing is insane.

There will be a resurgence in manufacturing in the US, BUT there won't be that many jobs. Technology has been the prime reason for the drop in manufacturing jobs -- not free trade. That trend will continue.
