no further growth in either US GDP or global product? Your questions are too easy. Of course there can be growth. The problem is that growth in products or consumption of existing products will not help. The economics favor expanding the oursourced plants before reopening the shuttered factories in America. New factories here would imply new products, or at least new fashions and dramaticly different arrangements of products. Something will pop up, but there doesn't seem to be a new paradigm shift on the immediate horizon. In the mean time with increasing debt and consumption instead of R&D programs the inventions seem further off. The the growth opportunity is in enemies and warfare, not manufacturing (unless you start counting all those burgers). If the factories are to be filled by the Bush league it will be with armaments.
