Some people just refuse to admit when they are wrong, even when their face is rubbed in the truth.

Most are liberals.

I know. My hometown was reliable on manufacturing and those jobs are NOT coming back. The manufacturing jobs in my hometown left for Mexico a while back. Due to Obamacare, the last two manufacturing companies left are talking about moving to China to avoid Obama's ridiculous taxes. Soon there will be nothing left of my hometown except for low paying service jobs.

All you have to do is look around to figure out that the manufacturing jobs are not coming back. When is the last time you were able to buy clothes that had the Made in U.S.A label? Or buy electronics with the Made in U.S.A label? Or a new kitchen appliance?

I am even starting to see food that says imported from _______.

I am currently in Phoenix. It seems like I see new foreclosures everyday. One of the local economists has already said that the foreclosure programs aren't working. I hear about this on our local news all the time.

For the second time we live in Sierra Vista, with a large Army base, that has at least two of the worlds largest Defense contractors. Our town is a service town. Have you been to the mall lately...apparently not. If it wasn't for those Defense contractors and the base, this place would dry up and blow away.

Things will have to change in order to get growth in manufactoring jobs and those changes aren't going to be pretty.
