The list of products that COULD be made in American rather than what SHOULD be (or is worth our time) is infinite.
I guess Willie still wants to pay $30K plus benefits to have Americans manufacture toasters, Happy Meal toys, weave $4 packs of underwear, etc.
Oh, but wait, then we won't have those products any longer because under our freedom and free market system, there isn't going to be anyone buying a $30 toaster any longer, or $20 for 3 pairs of briefs, and McDonald's won't give away toys that cost them $3 to buy. Oh, but we can't bother to discuss all those jobs lost anyway because they are overpriced and have outlived their usefullness.
I can see a bumper sticker on Willie's car: "Bring back Slide Rules!"

I wonder how many jobs were 'outsourced' because of the No-Call-List??
