Go ahead and pick up any small item in your home. Chances are it was made in China. It's incredible. Can you just imagine the number of jobs, and the overall economic impact if even 10% of the products made in China were actually made in the US? It boggles the mind.
What really gets me though, are the marketing gurus who tout their products as something American... "Spirit of America" or "American Flava" and then you look closely at the tag and it's made in China.

So I picked up my watch and my coffee cup as a test. Watch band "Made in China". NFL Mug "Made in China". Funny. But no, doesn't bother me.

Nah it does not bother me, it is the concept of free markets working.
Having things like this made in China, makes them much cheaper for consumers. The manufacturing jobs the US has lost, have been made up in higher paying high tech jobs. Economies continue to develop and change. We have been going through this a little. Change will always hurt some people, but if handled right by an educated, motivated country it can bring prosperity. |

well said!The problem in the US is that we have an over supply of low skilled workers who expect a high salaried job. If the US does not turn around our education apparatus, we will be out done by the competition over time. |

Jim, I agree to a certain extent.
Unions have surpassed their purpose, like many other well intentioned ideas. But, I still think that the US will only remain the economic super power if we educate the generations that follow. If we stay on the path we are now, teaching tolerance, political correctness, passiveness, etc., we will eventually pass the torch and be an economic relic like many of the European countries. |

Turning to technology/education?
India and such already do it cheaper (do you know how many people graduate from their university?). The high-tech high-paying jobs are already being sent overseas. What do you turn to than?

Failure as an end result is not an option. It is a mindset. Seems to me the education system is moving away from the ideals of hard work and competition with all the PC crap going around. It is not so much about teaching "math and science" as it is work ethic, common sense, responsibility and individuality. |
