We didn’t need industry. Free Traitors explained that to us.

This is no bog deal. I say board up another 100 cities, no make it a thousand.

We can’t compete. We can’t make good products. We don’t need a tax base.

Service sector jobs is where it’s at. $12 dollars an hour is the new $20 per hour. Excellent...

“We can’t compete. We can’t make good products.”

Apparently, you subscribe to those beliefs. Sad, really.

I think the greatest threat to our manufacturing sector is people who think the government can protect it. Interesting that a lot off the cities on the list are ports.

You might know what a port is--it's a place where goods move from one place to another--as in trade.

You didn’t get it exactly right, but you’re close. The free traders say that shipping those jobs offshore frees us to do more important, and better jobs.

While I think Obama is a large factor in our economy withering, there is more to it. We have a smaller manufacturing base, and that is what pulls you out of recession. I think we’re witnessing the contraction of the American economy. Contrary to what the free traders told us, you can’t exist as a service economy only, and not everyone is capable of being an entrepeneur. The world’s largest consumer economy is contracting, and there is little chance it will ever regain it’s once robust characteristics.

And could you swim with an anchor tied to your foot? Who can make anything with the union anchor tied around our necks. Let’s just hope the service sector unions destroy the service sector too.

Flint and Detroit are not necessarily dead cities. They will be purchased for pennies on the dollar and incorporated into the expanding Dearbornistan.

We have factories, plants. They have just fled Democrat and RINO cities, leaving the soon to die elderly in their no-one-will-buy-houses, welfare projects, immigrant shops, huge lawyer class and the local, government caretakers of cops, firemen and such, squeezing the last tax dollar until they retire to Florida or Idaho.

Those jobs aren't for us either- those jobs are for illegals; those are jobs we won't do according to our politicians. I guess that is why even with skyrocketing unemployment we need to keep the illegals and get more. I am not sure what we are supposed to do for a living- get on the dole I guess.
