Well, that really is the crux of the argument.

I had this debate with an employee of mine after the speech. He said it worked during the depression, and building roads etc put people to work.

What he didn’t understand, is that those folks went and used their money to buy products. Product that were made in America. That made all sorts of business grow.

Now, most manufacturing business has been forced to leave America, due to high taxes, enviro tarrifs and fees, a hostile union environment, a hostile white house, years of poor education, a forced minimum wage, and a looming VAT tax and even more burden on manufacturing with Cap and Trade threats.

Even if the union thugs make more money leaning on a shovel, they will spend it on overseas products. This will increase our trade deficit. In the end, we will be no better off.

The longer this charade goes on, the more likely it will collapse America when it does come time to pay the piper. I’m all for that happening sooner than later. It will be cheaper and easier to rebuild the sooner the common man gets this through his thick skull.

We need to bring back manufacturing. We need to focus on making products people want, not subsidising wind mills and solar panels and green garbage cans. We need to once again lay off of our factories, and let them produce...at a profit (yeah thats the thing, they have to make a profit). Instead of punishing them for being successful, we should encourage success in our manufacturing sector.

I wish our nation had a million factory owners who were billionaires. Libs wish all factory owners who show a profit were in jail. That is where they and I differ.
