I didn’t know Willie Green was still around. I hope to hear from him. It is my belief that manufacturing leaving the USA is not necessarily a problem. Let the Chinese and Mexicans manufacture our textiles or the usual crap Wal-Mart sells. Recognize that our country builds commercial aircraft (as well as military aircraft), automobiles, heavy equipment and other more sophisticated items. Also, our country still has three shipyards building military ships for our Navy. There needs to be an industrial base for this type of product. The Japanese, Koreans and Germans have factories all over the USA building cars. Americans can build good cars, it is just that the big three with the UAW continue to edge toward self destruction. Protectionism is not the answer, with the except of protecting our key industrial base.
Will the Chinese sell us weapons to fight back with after they go to war with us?
Capitol doesn't win wars. Manufacturing wins wars.
