Not true. We used to have factories that employed them.



Now with the ones left they are like this



Or



Romney and his like saw to it that the US is no longer the manufacturing base it was. Asking him to come up with a solution is like asking Kim Dotcom to stop piracy.

None of the first paragraph you wrote is ok. It's the part of spending more than you earn syndrome that has put the government in debt to the tune of $16T. The problem didn't get better with Obama. It got worse. Much worse. Obama has failed this nation more than I could've ever imagined when I listened to him talk 4 years ago. He has done nothing, to curb wasteful spending. On the contrary..he has encouraged it.
So stop the spending, put up with the lost jobs and do what with the money saved?

Just in case people don't notice it.
