patientrenter – I won’t go into the very long and easy list to make, but it starts out being made here and then ends up being made elsewhere for less. That basically is the crux of the problem. We are shedding more jobs than weight on The Biggest Loser. We have created and invented many goods that were better. In the end, we lose them to cheap labor.
This could almost be a case toward buying houses. For now, most of it is still made here. LOL.
Edit:
I will agree that we need to advance our technology, for example, perhaps, stem cell. I think China already has a jump start on that.
