So now can we get our industries back?
by Cyrano

The reason American businesses shifted their manufacturing overseas was to take advantage of cheap labor. Well, now that the value of the dollar has fallen into the toilet, perhaps American business will bring manufacturing jobs back to the United States, to make American products for Americans here in America. I'll gladly pay more for a product made here that is of the quality one used to associate with American-made products! There will be jobs for Americans, which will be good. And perhaps we can start restoring the way of life we used to know, where anyone willing to work could get ahead.
