I said manufacturing wasn't dead, but where are the steel mills? GM is barely breathing, Obama is killing off the coal industry, there hasn't been an oil refinery built in America for decades and we don't make tvs and other kinds of electronics anymore and manufacturers have been heading to Mexico for decades. . As I said we still manufacture but everything I've heard speaks of us as a service economy and now we're supposed to be entering ;the Information Age, whatever the hell that is. I suppose it has to do computer type jobs and what kids study in college, referred to as ‘’communications’’. Go to Walmart(speaking of the Chinese) or Best Buy and Home depot. Look at the labels on all kinds of goods, especially electronics.

I agree, being the number one manufacturing nation in the world except for 2011 (2nd), and manufacturing almost 20% of the world’s stuff definitely means that manufacturing isn’t dead in America.
