Maybe she should be blaming Bill Clinton for signing the NAFTA Bill that has moved all of the manufacturing jobs out of this country.

"Did you notice in the article that 2.6 million autos were manufactured in Michigan last year? Do you think cars grow on trees?"

Great,But that was mainly from parts imported from Canada and Mexico. So your point is?

The trade deficit is from more things coming into the US than going out. We are down to 13% of US jobs in the manufacturing process and the ones that remain are mainly from assembly from imported parts.

As Ross Perot said about NAFTA, A giant sucking sound is all I hear.

If you read the article as you state, more cars were made in Canada than the US.

You're having trouble with facts. More cars were made in Ontario than in Michigan. And automobile manufacturers have domestic content labels . . . so your Ford built in Michigan might have less domestic content than, say, a Toyota built in Tennessee.

Sure. "We don' make nuthin', nowhere, nohow." What a joke. Where do you come-up with this BS?

It might pain you to learn that our manufacturing sector has been expanding for 20 straight months, and we set a record for goods exports last year.
