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.

We are down to 13% of US jobs in the manufacturing process and the ones that remain are mainly from assembly from imported parts

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.

Check this out . . . one of our resident economics experts has chimed in. Do you still have that graph of goods production as percentage of GDP?

Try telling that to the people in the US that are losing their jobs as plants close left and right and move to Mexico, Canada or China.

I don't have the reference handy but the percent of remaining jobs in the US that are manufacturing are only 13% of all jobs.

Do a search on TAA Dislocated Worker supplements to address your idea about increased jobs from manufacturing expansion. lol you need to wake up and look around.
