Has the loss of manufacturing jobs been supplanted by increased jobs in other sectors? I think that's a no-brainer. The demographics of the work-force change over time - the details of which the market dictates. We're more capilatist than democratic, and no "organization" can reverse market trends by buying american. Cheapest wins.

"Does the loss of these jobs matter?"

Yes, it matters. But as long as the liberal, bed-wetting, "save the toads and snail-darters" left have their way, industry will continue to die in the USA.

The US manufacturing industry has been regulated to death. It is no longer economically feasible to open and operate a manufacturing plant of any great size because the wages that the unions will demand the workers be paid, the taxes the company will have to pay to the government for the privilege of operating in the US and the fees incurred for the clean-up of the pollution that is inevitably a by-product of industry makes it impossible to produce a product that the general consuming public can afford.

Whenever conservatives try to fund corporations to keep them up and running, the left screams "FOUL" and starts dredging up the "starving" masses of lazy welfare mammas and their offspring that could use the money.

We've gotten what we deserve for being so stupid, so "PC" and so easily pushed around by a bunch of whining cry-babies.

Thanks for all those links.I am planning to mount an information campaign about our Rino congressperson. And with his record of voting against Americans, I probably only need a quarter (or less) of those links to implicate him with the ongoing American freefall.

It's good to see that my "How about a Made in the USA" store thread has gotten such a good response from so many people, and is being referred to in a couple of other threads, including this one. I'm hoping someone will step up to the plate on this one and actually start a "Made in the USA" store.

>The purpose of this Crafted with Pride in U.S.A. educational campaign is to inform American consumers about the importance of domestic manufacturing to the long-term well being of the United States of America and its people.

Oh for heaven's sake!

There is something so TYPICALLY crazy about this that in it's own way it should become famous...

1) Nobody needs to "inform" the American people about the importance of manufacturing! Hell, we're the ones sitting around out of work and looking at the foreign labels on everything we can afford to buy! We the American people know manufactuing is important.

2) The American people aren't the ones giving away the manufacturing jobs! It's the CEOs and policy makers and social engineers who are _creating_ the future of America. They sure as hell don't need to be "informed" about the importance of manufacturing. They know. They don't care. They're looking at a bigger picture.

3) You've got to wonder about a "campaign" like this... Who is behind it? Who is funding it. Points #1 and #2 are obvious. Clearly this campaign is just going to raise frustration levels. Is that its goal?
