Since most of the major industry is elsewhere it's going to be a hard road ahead. The do nothing Congress doesn't seem to care about anything about America except their own political agenda. I remember a time when the city of Johnstown which is near me was hard to get out of at quitting time because of all the traffic. You had the wire mill, wheel plant, car shops, multiple steel mills and now they're all basically shut down. When I worked at the car shops in the late 90's all the steel came from China. Seems hard to believe that steel can be shipped here from China cheaper than a steel mill 100 yards away from the plant. Ceo's used to make 40 times a workers wage. Now it's 400 times and more a workers wage. I'll go out on a limb and say I'm a 99%er. The trouble in today's world there is too too much corporate greed. It astonishes me that Ford goes to Argentina and builds a plant to make vehicles because it's cheaper, but it doesn't bring down the price of the vehicle at all. Honda and Toyota build plants here and their vehicles are a lot more expensive. They don't have trouble selling them and I doubt that they pay their CEO'S the way we do. Just my two cents.

Just my two cents.Your points are valid and I believe if Ford or any Company wants to go to foreign soil let them but do not let them import back here for resale under any conditions. If this was done there would be a lot of jobs here. It is not a few corporations of companies that make this possible it is our own fault for buying the cheapest things we can (no reference to those that have to) thus making it possible for or factories to leave this nation. I received an email that is too Long to share but the bottom line was, this year buy local products if you can, give gift certificates for local services (car wash, movie theater tickets, grocery store certificates and local restaurants for dinners and lunches. When you do this you "are supporting the work force here in this nation". My two cents worth.
