Not true. This index is based on a survey. Only those factories that remain open are included. As factories continue to shut-down and relocate offshore, they are dropped from the survey, falsely skewing and inflating the index for those that remain.

Willie is absolutely correct. We need to get back to the good old days of the 1950's when we produced much more and didn't buy anything from those nasty foreigners. As you can see from the graph, the 1950's were much better...err...never mind.

Don't let the facts get in the way of your point Willie.

If domestic "goods production" has increased as a share of GDP, why has it become so difficult to find "Made in the USA" in any of the doggone stores???

McJobs mistake / Sorry, but burger flipping isn't manufacturing

Don't let the facts get in the way of your point Willie.

It's glaringly obvious that your "facts" are intended to mislead the gullible and uninformed.
