A Tale of Two Economies: Manufacturing vs. Services

I agree with Relmor that it will get worse and, with no manufacturing base anything we try to build is done on shifting sands. We can't manufacture here because it is too dirty, unsafe, expensive, etc. We can't mine or drill because it is "environmentally unsound". I am for clean air and water but we have thrown the baby out with the bath water.

I own a manufacturing business and have see nearly all of my suppliers either outsource overseas or go under. How many of us are going to freeze and starve before we reverse the trend? This depression is just starting.

I doubt they can reinflate the bubble, as you put it but maybe they can slow the slide. Take a better look at what you're buying and try to buy American if you can. (That basically means stay out of Wal-Mart)
