Oh, now our manufacturing base is in a boom, I didn't know. You want the real numbers of jobs sent here compared to jobs we've exported.

No sir I did not say that. Do not assume what I might have stated. Simply put we have manufacturing plants from foreign countries. No I do not need to see the numbers however as the world economy changes week to week foreign companies recognize that shipping cost, duties and taxes take their product out of the market compared to foreign companies already manufacturing cars/products in the states. For example, VW can not compete with Toyota and Honda concerning pricing in the states. The only way for VW to compete is making a factory in the states which VW has started and to be completed next year. The dynamics are changing.
Even so, I'm a firm supporter of keeping manufacturing here in the states.
