Obviously, we need a Blue Ribbon government commission to study this idea and design a bureaucracy to deal with it.
All according to Obama’s plan to “fundamentally change America” from a free Constitutional Republic to a Socialist State...
...and he was elected TWICE by fundamentally wrong-headed Americans to get it done.
I’m surprised it’s not more than 1.8 to 1.
They revised what is considered manufacturing also.
Industries in the Food Manufacturing subsector transform livestock and agricultural products into products for intermediate or final consumption. The industry groups are distinguished by the raw materials (generally of animal or vegetable origin) processed into food products.
The food products manufactured in these establishments are typically sold to wholesalers or retailers for distribution to consumers, but establishments primarily engaged in retailing bakery and candy products made on the premises not for immediate consumption are included.

It was never supposed to be that way. Not in the United States of America.
I have no doubt, much of the astro-turf libtard political movement comes from the millions employed by government to protect their own selfish interests.
They don’t give a darn on how it hurts their fellow Americans all in the name of getting what they want for themselves.
They’ll use or misuse the power of government, to take, by force if necessary, from their fellow Americans, to enrichen themselves. Or to run up the country’s credit card and max it out for generations to come. We desperately need an Article V Convention to reign in all this corruption.

At least we used to have our own arsenals that made weapons.
I grew up in Springfield, MA. The Armory was one of the largest employers in town. Along with Smith and Wesson and Savage, and Colt right down the street in Hartford, we were a gun maker’s dream.
That honestly fills me with dread.
We, as a nation, are dead. The gas tank is empty, we are running on memories. It’s like that point in the marriage wherre both parties have cheated on each other, they are just waiting for the other to file papers and pull the proverbial plug.
Isn’t hard to guess how this will end. Everyone in communist countries works for the govt.
As demonstrated in this under 4 minute video...(drum roll!)
PERPETUAL MOTION HAS FINALLY BEEN ACHIEVED!!
And, wonder of wonders, GOVERNMENT has done it!
Every living organism is driven by two primal instincts: Self preservation and reproduction (sex). The sex part probably explains why so many well compensated (OXYMORON ALERT!) “GOVERNMENT WORKERS” spend hours a day watching porn on their taxpayer furnished computers.
The self preservation thing can be observed each and every election when huge numbers of these “government workers” repair to the polls to vote for the candidates (virtually ALWAYS Democrats) promising to, at worst, do nothing to cut the numbers of “government workers” or, at best (which is most often the case), INCREASE the numbers of “government workers”.
VOILA: PERPETUAL MOTION IS A REALITY!!
Now, if you are not happy about this, please ask yourself which of the candidates for president all the way down to your local town council will shove a large monkey wrench into this freedom destroying, bankruptcy producing juggernaut to HELL then support him or her.
Better hurry. We’re about out of time!
(Here endeth the personal rant!)
And, yes, this HAS been around before but watch it again as a refresher!

I don’t understand: So many here at FR extol the benefits of free trade and simultaneously deride those that define protectionism as keeping US manufacturing jobs here, not overseas.

Reading the comments thus far, I wonder where ‘they’ are today?

It’s like the Trump-bashers: JR came out supporting Trump and the Trump-bashers at FR seem AWOL (at the time I browsed comments), one trolling author in particular that also supports free trade.
Amazing.

This needs to change.
BIG GOVERNMENT IS CRONY SOCIALISM
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

Socialism Is Legal Plunder- Bastiat
The Results of Legal Plunder…
The looting of the republic continues, by invaders, representatives and the maggots around them who devise new ways to plunder the populace.
The US is a Marxist state.
End of story.
Add govt contractors employees and the number is probably double.
Next add those getting govt assistance and the picture of why we have such a massive deficit and high taxes is very clear.
Reminds me of that joke which ends so only you and me are contributing to govt coffers and I hear you are being laid off next week. Something like that :)
