ot Economy is a mess

Do you remember when the US was wealthy and China was poor? Do you wonder
what happened?

Let me lay this out for you. From about 1776 until 1976 people in the US
took raw materials and fashioned them into useful products. As time went on
we became the leaders in making everything from steel to cars.

Then for some strange reason that is beyond me we decided that it would be
better to outsource manufacturing and put everybody in some sort of service
job.

A factory or plant or mill or foundry is something that takes in raw
materials and creates wealth and jobs as well as products. They are real
useful things to have around. They are the engines that create a big
portion of the wealth of a society.

But they can be noisy and dirty and stinky and who wants to see plumes of
smoke anyhow?

Apparently the Chinese want to see plumes of smoke. They see the value in
those plumes of smoke that we rejected from our shores.

We still have Caterpillar and John Deere and GE and Boeing and a few defense
contractors left. We only threw away about 85% of our manufacturing.

At some point along the way we supplanted "pursuit of happiness"
with "guarantee of fairness."

It's reversible.
