has the current administration let american manufacturing jobs leave american soil .?

Answer 1

They're not only letting them leave they're actually helping push them out with tax and other incentives. I agree that it's not just this administration but it has accelerated considerably under them. One other thing everything that I buy that's made overseas is utter crap,I bought a pair of jeans a couple of months ago, the first time I washed them they fell apart, I have had my American made jeans for years so someone tell me where the savings are.all this is is putting hugh amounts of money in a few peoples pockets and everyone else can go take a flying leap. Many of the other imported things I have bought have done the same thing,I
check where things are made before I buy something and I'm
finding fewer and fewer things made here that are even available and it's really starting to piss me off!!! I don't like the idea of having to go out and buy new pants or whatever else every few months, give me American made every time.

Answer 2

The international class war is reflected in the United States, where real wages have fallen to the level of the mid-1960s. Wage stagnation, extending to the college-educated, changed to sharp decline in the mid-1980s, in part a consequence of the decline in "defense spending," our euphemism for the state industrial policy that allows "private enterprise" to feed at the public trough. More than 17 million workers were unemployed or underemployed by mid-1992, Economic Policy Institute economists Lawrence Mishel and Jared Bernstein report -- a rise of 8 million during the Bush years. Some 75 percent of that is permanent loss of jobs. Of the limited gain in total wealth in the eighties, "70% accrued to the top 1% of income earners, while the bottom lost absolutely," according to M.I.T. economist Rudiger Dornbusch.

Answer 3

No more so than other administrations. America, being so prosperous and advanced, routinely outgrows certain jobs. Some we just don't need done anymore, others cannot be profitably performed in this country because we're too affluent. We haven't manufactured technological products in this country in many decades. But whereas some jobs go, new jobs expand or come into being. It's a relatively natural cycle.

Answer 4

No. Most Manufacturing jobs left these sunny shores a long time ago because of tort liability laws and high labor costs. They can manufacture much cheaper in china, india or mexico, but that happened way before Bush II. It started in the 70's under carter and has continued.

Answer 5

...and the preceding administration and the future administration. Why? Because we live in America and big business has the freedom to make its profits it whatever legal way it chooses. Its the black side of living in the USA; we can chose and our choices may not benefit the very country that allows us this wonderful freedom. If every business chose what was for the good of those living in the U.S.A, we wouldn't even think of the "administration" as being the entity at fault. The "buck" stops with us, you and me.

Answer 6

Yep, replaced with better jobs in the service/technology sector. Too bad you can't just drop out of school and get a low-paying factory job to work for 30 years.


Ahhhhhh, the good old days.

Get educated or quit whining.

Answer 7

First of all, I'm not a conservative. However it's next to impossible to force manfacturers to emply in the U.S when cheaper labor is available abroad

Answer 8

NO!!! That was under your buddy, Billy-boy Clinton and alg'ore
that did all of that. Better read your history a little bit better than what you have been doing.

Answer 9

I don't know if the soil has changed but the hands definitely look more mexican.

Answer 10

yes
