Ratzenberger Says We’ve ‘Got It Made in America’
Clipped to the Drawing Board by jackson Browne  

 The Empire Strikes Back - well maybe not quite,  but there is an awakening of the sleeping giant

There are always 2 sides to every storey - I can see the nostalgia - but is that where the US wants to be - in the smoke stack industries. ? I don't know - is there a documented government position on this - Whilst the Western countries probably don't want the "dirty" industries, once the skill base is gone, it's hard to see it ever coming back - if there is a need - and who knows what may be around the corner - personally, I think it is a matter of getting the balance right - but what that balance is - thats the question

Keep your manufacturing skills base - its a clear cut decision - protect whats yours who knows what the future holds - but there is a clear need to be self sufficient - and not Dependant on overseas countries for manufactured goods - it's a chain reaction from design through to manufacture and the support industries
