“Our fall began decades ago. NAFTA took away a lot of our manufacturing.”
I hate to admit this but Ross Perot was right back in 1992...”..that giant sucking sound...” has been American jobs leaving for low-wage second and third world $hitholes.
“Free Trade” was (and still isn’t) “free”..it’s always been “managed trade.” Corporations have fled to “low cost” countries and the result is the coming demise of the American Middle Class...we’re humped.
The manufacturing jobs are being sent out of country. All we have left is assembly plants and they’re going to Mexico faster than even Perot thought possible.
