Is it too late? I just a heard a story, today or yesterday, about the growth of the SEIU.

And during the debate this evening, so far, not a word on this topic – though I didn’t start listening until 9pm.

While I don’t believe it’s China that is solely to blame, this move to a “global economy” involves more than just China, we do really need to better address our US manufacturing base and what is to become of us. I do agree that a switch to a service based economy is not the solution and from an economic standpoint it will never provide the level of income and benefits that manufacturing has for our workforce.

It will be interesting to see if any of the presidential candidates do address this important issue and what solutions they offer.
