76. "loss, of good manufacturing jobs"
This is like complaining about the loss of farming jobs.

The country is moving away from manufacturing jobs just as it moved away from farming jobs. The reality is manufacturing jobs are never coming back simply because industry has changed.

Now - does this mean we should replace them with fast food jobs? No, of course not. But calling for manufacturing jobs is archaic. There are a great many new jobs in fields such as IT that have replaced them. We are beyond the industrial age. The problem is corporations run amuck have MOVED new age jobs overseas.

We need to be calling for those jobs to be moved back, not calling for antiquated jobs.
