The key part of your argument.
And census or no census, steel, textile, automobile, electronics, etc. manufacturing is gone. How many 'Made in America' labels have you seen lately?
I work for a company that makes refrigeration equipment.
Everything we produce is labeled “made in the USA”.
The machine tools I use are made in the USA.
The auto parts I buy are made in he USA.
My tractor, lawn mower and my car are made in the USA.
Most of the food I eat is made in the USA.

WASHINGTON – Steel wheels, nails and bedsprings made in Missouri are on the list. So are pipes, paintbrushes and coat hangers from Illinois. Not to mention a host of other products, from Silicon Valley electronics to Detroit auto parts.If it seems that the Chinese are throwing cheaper versions of everything but the kitchen sink at U.S. markets, think again. This month, an Illinois kitchen-sink manufacturer — the Elkay Cos. — asked Washington to slap an “anti-dumping” tariff on Chinese steel sinks.
Whether the product is sinks or steel wheels, the complaints by U.S. manufacturers allege that China unfairly subsidizes the plants that make such products, allowing exporters to sell them in this country at less than fair market value.
In the most recent Missouri case, executives of Hayes Lemmerz — an international steel wheels manufacturer that employs more than 300 people at its plant in Sedalia — asked the U.S. International Trade Commission on March 8 to order punitive duties against Chinese imports that they contend unfairly undercut their prices.
“Don’t let dumped Chinese wheels shut down these plants and cost these good, hardworking Americans their jobs,” said Donald Hampton Jr., who supervises the steel-wheel plants in Sedalia and Akron, Ohio.
China has been destroying the U.S.A. China has caused untold misery, unemployment, homelessness and killed many Americans by denying them a chance to make a living.
WE the U.S.A can't even make our own consumer electronics nor our own clothes and many other consumer industries. China makes MOST of the consumer electronics that 9 billion people use, 54% of the world's steel. China has 10 times the number of manufacturing workers than the U.S. has. Most of these workers work in new modern factories that the U.S.A has never seen the like of. Yet many propagandists here say that the debt ridden U.S. is more productive than China: it's all lies.
So by the logic of some on here we have to allow china to do anything to the U.S.A. and Americans individuals or American companies as long as they call it “trade” or economics.NO we need the military for stopping China from invading the U.S. with troops . likewise we need to stop China's economic war against the U.S.A and from what China is doing to Americans. We need the government to protect Americans against armies, against China, against immigrants, against anything foreign. By your logic then we have to allow U.S companies to import an unlimited number of immigrants also( are you for that too?)Yes we need to limit government inside the border but we need a border and to protect that border against immigrants , china , the UN, WTO, .We need a fortress America .We must be for America first and let China go to hell! Pass this article on to all you know. China makes 54% of the world's steel and most of the consumer electronics 9 billion people use. We in the U.S. cannot even make our own consumer electronics. but many say U.S. produces more(ridiculous)

We produce more agricultural products with fewer farmers. The horror.
