We USED TO have a lot of textile manufacturing in this country. Now we don't. Why? Can't compete with overseas labor that doesn't have OSHA standards or other basic protections.

As I pointed out (and you ignored), with unemployement at a historic low, your post is irrelevant. Please don't waste my time.

Unemployment only appears to be at a historic loaw.
Measure it the way they measured it back in the 1930s, and it's not so low.

It's sort of like base inflation. Sure, you can say inflation's low, if you take energy out of the equation.

Now, it could be that people in Ohio and Indiana, who have long intelligently voted for the GOP, all of a sudden got stupid and didn't realize how good they have it and voted Democrat.

Or you could take a deep breath and realize that all the GREAT economic data we are constantly being told about...IS...NOT...TRUE.
Particularly in the Midwest. The Midwest is going out of business.
And with it, the GOP.
So, just like in any other market, adapt or die.
