Your economy is headed for a Greater Depression because of demented Government protectionism - of which this is a prime example.

“Bringing the jobs home” = welfare, tariffs, protectionism and economic destruction.

*Exactly* the same things were tried 80 years ago, and America crashed and burned.

You may be right. I don’t know for sure. But what I do know is that we can’t continue to be a nation of stockbrokers and sellers of $5 cups of coffee, and feng shui consultants, and fast food burger flippers, and all the other “frippery” jobs we have degenerated into the last 30 years.

We have shipped our manufacturing base overseas and IMHO, if all we end up doing is making our own stuff and selling our own stuff to ourselves, we’d be better off than what we have allowed to happen.

parsy, who once again says he may be wrong
