Obama could have done more to help manufacturing by reining in the EPA and allowing fracking and oil drilling on federal lands. All the energy infrastructure would have created hundreds of thousands of jobs immediately, while lower energy prices would create millions of service jobs.
Many US tech design firms farm out manufacturing to Asia, right?
Well soon the US gummint will RE-CLASSIFY such companies as **US MANUFACTURERS**
Gosh I WONDER why they plan to do THAT, right?
Anything Obama is an uphill struggle.
This’ll be another government boondoggle.
“Colorful Stools”
The only thing that will help manufacuturing is restoring the import tariffs.
And we should lower income and corporate taxes by an equal amount.
You can eliminate all taxes and all regulations and you still can’t compete with chinese labor that is 1/30th our minimum wage.
It was a mistake to lower them in the 1960’s and we have high unemployment and have lost much manufacturing as a result.
Buried deep and forever under a mountain of red tape and taxes.
NO business can manage for long under such a burden.
Our Marxist president is consumed by a deep-seated and virulent hatred for civilization and he’s doing everything he possibly can to destroy it.
And, yes, he’s doing an excellent job of it, too, thank you very much.
This is a perfect example of ACORN Economics. It makes sense to academic pinheads while having no practical use in the real world. Very USSR, with no application in the USA.
The only job we get with Obama is one very expensive,”Village Idiot”, who left unchecked will start World War #3.
"I tell them there will not be as much need for the working class, but there will be more engineers," Martof said.
She is probably right.
How many millions are the taxpayers paying for each job?
This is so FDR of Barry.
Obama to job creation is as the black plague to life.
Everything obama has touched has turned to kaka. Not a penny he has spent outside of the military has done this country a speck of good. So, why should this be any different. When it comes to jobs, government is the problem, not the solution. If obama really wanted to see manufacturing jobs increased in this country all he would have to do is get government out of the way, not further inject itself into the situation.
BTW, I could create 13 million new jobs tomorrow if I was President: I’d simply kick out all of the illegal aliens that are taking jobs from citizens and massively driving down labor rates to boot. The latter is why the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is so hell bent on immigration “reform”.
I almost stopped reading at “colorful stools.” Then I had to carry on. This program is nothing more than another redistributive program.
We are going to need a number of highly skilled workers to load plastic into 3-D printer, to take the finished item out of the printer, to box it, and to ship it.

Anything Obama touches turns to sh&^.
What a joke.
Ptomkin factory.
If they are not exempted from o’care, it will go under.
No actual purpose except window dressing for his adoring media.
