And while the US can never be the manu. superpower that it once was, it doesn't have to be losing manu. jobs at the rate of 500k per year that have been lost under Bush.


Making great stuff (including agriculture) is what made this country great. Can we remain great by selling each other services and exporting digits? I'm not at all sure of that.

Look at China, the Arab states... they are building massive cities on our dime.

We manufacture more than we did in the past, including more than we did when Clinton was president.

We "lose" manufacturing employment, because we can manufacture more with less people.

We are not alone in this. Europe employs fewer people in manufacturing, Japan employs fewer people in manufacturing, even China is seeing a drop in manufacturing employment.
