You missed the facts I constantly post?
No, I'm not like you, toad.
No kidding. You're more like Oprah. All feelings, no facts.
The rise in the U.S. trade deficit
You're using EPI as a source? LOL! What's wrong, nothing good on the CPUSA website?
Now as interesting as your left wing source data about jobs may be, your claim was that manufacturing in America has gone down by at least 30% since NAFTA. You understand the difference between manufacturing output and manufacturing employment? Try again?
However, to counter your shilling for NAU and NAFTA, as you wear your rose-colored glasses, all Americans know that this economy sucks, that manufacturing jobs are going overseas, every time they have to be retrained for yet another job, all across America, because the good paying job they once had in the manufacturing industry is gone....and that is also having a devastating effect on local economies
Indeed, the actual number of manufacturing jobs has fallen by half since 1970. ... Most people today work in services: in America, as many as 80%. But this trend is hardly new. As early as 1900, America and Britain already had more jobs in services than in industry. Even at its peak, early in the 20th century, employment in manufacturing never exceeded one-third of America's workforce. What is new is the recent absolute decline in factory employment. Although manufacturing has long been shrinking as a proportion of America's expanding workforce, the number of industrial jobs stayed more or less the same between 1970 and the late 1990s. Since then, however, manufacturing employment has fallen in every year. Chart 2 shows that since 1996 the number of manufacturing jobs has shrunk by close to one-fifth in America, Britain and Japan. In the euro zone, the average loss has been only 5%. Similarly, manufacturing output has fallen as a proportion of GDP (measured in current prices)...
