It's all about the Unions (the money-laundering operation of the DNC).

Make the whole Nation a Right-to-Work area, and manufacturing, production, and ALL sectors will see employmnet skyrocket, and costs DECREASE dramatically, when the extoriton-like labor and benefits costs are reduced. Since the Socialists have taken over control of businesses, and FORCED their Unionization, Taxpayers will see the costs passed on to them, with no way to avoid it.

You don't have to buy from Obama Motors to still have to subsidize the Unions (and, have your taxes sent through them to the DNC)

” - - - “The White House Office of Manufacturing Policy will convene cabinet-level meetings to aggressively implement the Administration’s priority manufacturing initiatives,”

“Wrong Way” Obama continues to do what “that Communist thing.”

BTW, does our sorry Congress have to appropriate funding for this commie rat hole?

Psst FReepers...with the in-fighting we are doing now... it seems like a repeat of 2007/2008...when we were against everyone who was running for president. Some of you didn't vote and we got the DANGEROUS VERSION OF JIMMY CARTER.

This time, Ronald Reagan isn't running, so we should unite and defeat the MARXIST, or we might not have elections again.

Yes, I'm not thrilled with the group... but whomever will be our candidate...we need to UNITE against 0.

I was thinking along the same lines - manufacture or else.

What is not prohibited is mandatory komrade.

Wikijunk.

But a fairly good synopsis of the Nazi’s Office of Manufacturing (Business) Policies.

Centralization
Agricultural and industrial central planning was a prominent feature of Nazi economics. To tie farmers to the land, selling agricultural land was prohibited; farm ownership was nominally private, but discretion over operations and residual income were proscribed. That was achieved by granting business monopoly rights to marketing boards, to control production and prices with a quota system. Quotas also were established for industrial goods, such as pig iron, steel, aluminium, magnesium, gunpowder, explosives, synthetic rubber, fuels, and electricity. A compulsory cartel law was enacted in 1936, allowing the minister of economics to make existing cartels compulsory and permanent, and compel industries to form cartels, where none existed, although disestablished by decree, by 1943, they were replaced with more authoritarian economic agencies.[184]
Finance
In place of ordinary profit-incentive determining the economy, financial investment was regulated per the needs of the state. The profit incentive for businessmen remained, but was greatly modified: “Fixing of profits, not their suppression, was the official policy of the Nazi party”; however, Nazi agencies replaced the profit-motive that automatically allocated investment, and the course of the economy.[185] Nazi government financing eventually dominated private financial investment, which the proportion of private securities issued falling from over half of the total in 1933–34 to approximately 10 per cent in 1935–38. Heavy business-profit taxes limited self-financing of firms. The largest firms were mostly exempt from taxes on profits, however, government control of these were extensive enough to leave “only the shell of private ownership”. Taxes and financial subsidies also directed the economy; the underlying economic policy — terror — was incentive to agree and comply. Nazi language indicated death or concentration camp for any business owner who pursued his own self-interest, instead of the ends of the State. The official decree was stamped into the rim of the silver Reichsmark coins between 1933 through the end of WWII “Gemeinnutz geht vor Eigennutz” or “The common good before self-interest.”.[178]

the Obama administration on Monday said it has created a new Office of Manufacturing Policy

Paging Ayn Rand...Ms. Rand, please pick up the *red* courtesy phone...(the *white* courtesy phone has since been banned by Mr. Holder for being racist).

It's an ABC News segment called "Made in America" and shows a house built in Bozeman, Montana using only American-sourced materials.

The builder says if contractors added just 5% American-made materials, two hundred thousands jobs would be created to meet demand.

Here's the accompanying article.

"Commerce Secretary John Bryson, giving the position cabinet-level influence for the first time. His co-chair will be National Economic Council Director Gene Sperling."

A couple of guys with zero manufacturing experience, or more generally, producing anything of value.
