You need to check your basic premise. You are assuming that the U.S. is falling behind in manufacturing. It's not. The U.S. is the world's leading manufacturer and has been since about 1947 and perhaps earlier
No. Manufacturing is less than 5 percent of the USA's total economy. Back in 1947, it was well over 50 percent. Our trade deficits are way out of control, and that's aside from the government spending to keep those on the welfare rolls afloat among other matters. China's the world's leading manufacturer, having overtaken Germany last year. Don't know where you get your facts from, but you'd better change your sources, because those are not the words of a conservative.

Oh yes, and read this.

“...you’d better change your sources, because those are not the words of a conservative.”

Noob, you might wait just a bit longer before appointing yourself the authority on conservative thought around here. Such a comment has nothing to do with the question at hand. Conseratives don’t do lockstep thinking. Deal with it.
