All I am saying is, any time I go shopping anymore, in any store, in any town, in any state in America, I see rows and rows of stuff MADE IN CHINA.

Everything is made in China.

So Americans are buying stuff which basically contributed zero, to our economy.

America’s economy is seriously under-supported by true manufacturing.

We need to make the stuff we buy.

China now makes more than America makes. China now is poised to become the largest economy anywhere.

We need to bring back American manufacturing, and compete with China.

Not support China. Compete with China.

Sure that can be good natured, and can benefit us both, but what we are doing now is simply a massive sell-out of American manufacturing to a competitor.

America needs to make stuff.

Right here.

RE: We need to make the stuff we buy.

As long as you’re willing to pay significantly more for that stuff you’re paying for now, I have no problems with that.

The future abundance of cheap energy should draw some industry back.
