Give it up, brotch.Obama has already had his way with America.Could it be that China pays less than U.S. minimum wage yet still manages to produce goods for export?You said: According to you, we're still feeling the "result of their policies".
Millions of jobs moved to China from 2001 to 2008. Over 40,000 factories closed. I would say we are still feeling the result of their policies, wouldn't you?
The Plight of American Manufacturing
Since 2001, the U.S. has lost 42,400 factories --
and its technical edge.
Without a printed circuit board (PCB) industry, for instance, a country cannot expect to have an industrial foundation for high-tech innovation. But the domestic PCB industry shrunk from $11 billion in 2000 to $4 billion in 2008, a period during which the industry was growing globally. U.S. PCB manufacturers accounted for only 8 percent of global production in 2008, down from 26 percent in 2000. China's share of the global PCB market in 2008 was 31.4 percent or $16 billion, four times larger than the U.S. industry. Asia now controls 84 percent of the global production of printed circuit boards, which are used in tens of thousands of different products.

With the Internet and reliable and proven statistics available, Republicans still manage to stay the most ignorant and uneducated people on earth. You gotta give them props for their consistency.
So what's to stop you from starting a company and bringing back those jobs ?
Hmmmmm......... My guess is that you can't make it work paying a minimum wage.![]()
Conservatives will not be happy until the US looks like a 3rd world nation, AGAIN, like they were before PROGRESSIVE policies created the worlds largest middle class!
Look out Mexico, the US is racing to beat you to the bottom on the wage/living standards, IF conservatives get their way!!
His resume...
