BS. The manufacturing jobs have been moved to Red China. There are more people in the Red Chinese manufacturing sector then there are in our entire workforce. And Red China makes all the latest high tech products using the latest manufacturing processes.
Our government can force the US Corporations that moved their operations to Red China to move them back here simply by taxing them into oblivion if they fail to comply. American Corporations that want to do business inside the US should not be allowed put American out of work to take advantage of cheap Third World labor.
Free Trade Communists have absolutely ruined this country.
