Hey, 'Murrica' We're #1

The US has been going down the tubes for decades, we no longer concentrate on things that matter. We have moved our factories over seas and practically make nothing anymore. "Free" trade agreements is the reason for this.

Too bad this simply isn't true...


Now, if you want to make a claim about manufacturing jobs you may have a case; however, your reasons would be wrong. Automation and obsolescence are far more responsible for the reduction in manufacturing jobs than your free trade agreements or offshoring.

I'm going based on the facts of tons of things you used to by said Made in USA, now says China, Taiwan, Vietnam.

We can do the automation in this country, why does it have to be made somewhere else.
