It might surprise you that the U.S. continues to lead the world in manufacturing output.

Given the facts that;
A)We have massive merchandise trade deficits.
B)We have an unemployment rate of 10% and an underemployment rate over 20%.

We need to produce a whole lot more here.

Yes....few of the items Americans buy are actually “Made in America”. And, the computer chips this author claims are mostly made in America...are actually made overseas

Not sure if this was “lets make Americans feel good”, or, “more Free Trade Communist BS spin”.

Also,No mention was made of the millions of textile factory jobs (mostly non-union) that have been shipped out of America to Communist China and other places in the last 20 yrs

As long as we have a massive trade deficit with Communist China and the rest of the world....we do not manufacture enough. Those numbers do not lie...and cannot be spun
