LOL..actually it was Pelosi that paved the way.
Pelosi Stands Down On TAA, Clearing Way For Obama's Trade Agenda
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) waved the white flag on Wednesday, telling her caucus she would support passage of a key measure tethered to President Barack Obama's broader trade agenda.

The US has been losing jobs for 30 years due to lack of laws that penalize offshoring, NAFTA just sped it up. We still make lots of high value stuff here, we just dont employ very many people to get it done, productivity in the last 30 years has probably increased over 100%.
