The only way to reverse that (beyond stopping automation in factories - and good luck with that) is to make government more powerful over the economy by empowering know-nothing bureaucrats to tell industry how to conduct their business. Throw in more onerous regulations (you must just love the EPA), more powerful unions (See GM), higher taxes for goods and services so consumers can afford less, and our economy will certainly explode. If not, be sure to turn the trial lawyers loose with the full support and backing of the federal government.

I don't think that's how all those jobs I saw loaded into shipping containers and moved overseas are going to come back, but if it makes you feel better then so be it.

Mase, we took sub normal savings off the backs of 90 million of our neighbors.

Explain to me how making zero is not as bad as paying a few more percent on goods coming into our nation, which you don’t pay until you purchase something when you can afford it. Well you can’t.

Right now, those unemployed folks aren’t buying anything. Do you think that has impact on local communities? Evidently not.

Not only are we hollowing out our own nation’s (missing) employees, their families, their neighbors, their communities, their states, and the nation, since they have no income, don’t contribute to the local economies and pay taxes on that income, at the same time we are empowering the biggest global threat.

China won’t allow manufacturing on the mainland unless our businesses turn over all proprietary information. Thus China has been gifted with over 100 years of our patent database affecting anything manufactured in China by U. S. businesses.

China has rebuilt it’s infrastructure through this process.

Our infrastructure has been completely ignored.

You are a clueless wonder.
