I think Ford and all the rest of the companies sending US jobs overseas deserve every bit of criticism they receive.

I would agree, but a recent survey showed that most Americans choose lower price over the "Made in USA" label. The companies are stuck with either moving their manufacturing out of the country, or losing business to those that do.

Any resurgence in American manufacturing is going to have to start with consumers.

“Any resurgence in American manufacturing is going to have to start with consumers. “

Any resurgence in American Mfg, will have to start with the abolition of the unions. Domestic automakers management long ago capitulated to these a$$holes to the point where they have to add $20 per direct labor hourly cost to cover the union-driven “legacy costs.” The foreign automakers who now build cars here don’t have that burdensome overhead. They have management who can see where they will go if they let the UAW get a toehold in their factories. They truth is their domestic competiturs have plants in Mexico already. Ford is simply “late for the train.”
