Americans have two different ways of working w/ U.S. manufacturing. Almost half starts with this kind of info--
--so they can pay taxes to protect the rest that see it like this:
My concern is that this will not end well....
None of this BS changes the fact that thousands of factories and millions of US manufacturing jobs have been moved to cheap labor nations since NAFTA and before, and was accelerated by China’s being granted MFN status and joining the WTO.
And none of that BS changes the reality that over those same decades of deindustrialization of much of the US, the cost of our means tested poverty programs has mushroomed as have our budget deficits and national debt.
Show us a worthwhile stat if you can.
1. What percentage of manufactured products consumed in the US were produced in the US, now and ten, twenty and thirty years ago.
2. What is the total value of all manufactured products consumed in the US now and ten, twenty and thirty years ago. There are far more manufactured products now that years ago,and that alone makes your stats pretty meaningless. What were cell sales in 1980?
3. And then there would be adjustments for population growth over the past thirty years.
These stats people want to throw around that only address totals from year to year are practically meaningless as the makeup of all the manufactured products produced and consumed changes substantially over the years, as does the number of consumers purchasing those products.
