I never did like production manufacturing jobs but you know what? they used to pay very well and it used to be there were more jobs then workers. its far time we fix our trade imbalances with countries, and protect our country from predatory trade practices, untill we do this we will continue down the tubes untill one day we wake up and discover our money is worthless. our leaders have been selling us down the river for decades, but really it is our fault, we could organize grass roots efforts and march on washington, we could strike collectively as an entire nation until "our" government once again does the will of the people, and lastly if necessary we could defeat our own government by military action, if need be.
