In fact, despite the current boost in growth fueled by deficit spending, tax cuts, mortgage re-financings, and other one-time stimuli, the decline of American manufacturing is fast nearing the point of irreversibility – at least from the standpoint of restoring a critical mass of industries producing in the United States to world leadership.

The number of attorneys in the US just crested 1 million.
We need to export them and keep the productive people here at home!

the decline of American manufacturing is fast nearing the point of irreversibility I was a little curious about this contention. IS there a "point of no return" for manufacturing? What are the constraining criteria? At what point would American manufacturing slip below that threshold, and what would be the consequences?
Well-reasoned responses are welcome.

I agree! And the time to start is now, before it is too late!
Time for another industrial revolution in the United States --- Rebuild the United States, Made in the United States and Buy From the United States.
Time to get truely American companies back on their feet. There management, employees, and local governments need to work together to get this turned around. It will take a long time, but if we don't start now, it may never happen!!

Far too much activity is being outsourced, off-shored or totally moved out of this country.
As the article states, it will take some strong medicine to fix the problem!
Time to bite the bullet and make it happen!

What a load.
