Re: "Hard to have real growth when 90%+ of the real manufacturing jobs have been outsourced through globalization coupled with lax immigration controls since 1970."

True that 'globalization' has resulted in manufacturing jobs moving to low wage nations... but isn't manufacturing less then 20% of our GNP now? Somewhere around a fifth of the economy?

I would not look for any actual INCREASE in the percentage of our jobs that are in manufacturing (probably the best we can hope for is a decline or halt to the loss of jobs in that area), rather, I'd look to the OTHER FOUR FIFTHS of our economy for job gains.
