You also realize our Manufacturing Capacity is pretty well in the toilet as well....

Are you talking for real, or just gumballs?

[John Leland 1789]

“You also realize our Manufacturing Capacity is pretty well in the toilet as well...”

Yes, I do. No thanks to Clinton’s man, Robert Reich, or however you spell that socialist’s name, and everyone who has followed him, bowing down to the kind of “free trade” that makes us UN-free in the long run by forcing us to buy imports. It also moves the bulk of our industrial base abroad and along with it the “skills-base” necessary to manufacture.

If we try to rebuild our manufacturing base, interviews will eventually go something like this:

Personnel Officer: Well sir, what jobs have you held?

Applicant: Well, most recently I delivered for a pizza place, but I was laid off because pizza is too expensive for so many now and business really dropped off.

Personnel Officer: Sir, we are hoping to attract applicants who have some manufacturing plant experience.

Applicant: I don’t meet too many like that anymore. But I did have a job at a call center telling Americans how to get service for their Korean-made DVD burner . . . until that job went to a Pakistani guy somewhere overseas.
