oregonpapa is very very gullible if he believes those stories. There is NO WAY US manufacturing jobs are at the same level they were at 69 years ago. 69 years ago (1951) was likely the zenith of American industrial output and if anyone believes that same capacity now exists in this country they are living in a fantasy land. 69 years ago labor unions were strong, a man could work for a company at a good wage until he retired while his wife stayed home and raised the kids, and he had every expectation that his kids would be better off than he had been. If you or anyone else thinks that those conditions are present in this country now, well, you’re wrong. Our country has become a nation of consumers; we don’t make much of anything anymore other than cars and military items. If China ever develops a middle class equal to what the US used to have, then things MAY change but only in the sense that labor and manufacturing will then shift to India or Vietnam or The Phillipines or some other source of cheap labor. Kind of ironic; when I first began applying for jobs, every application asked if you are or ever have been a member of the Communist Party. Now we as workers have been sold out to those same Communists. That’s not winning. And I suggest millercarbon stick with the cult and idolize the raccoon eyed juvenile minded moron and pathological liar. Yeah, he’s gonna fix it. Hilarious.
