Now, back to your question. It is true that manufacturing has, for the last decade, moved out of the United States. There are many reasons for that trend; taxation, increased manufacturing costs, slim profit margins, etc. But, what has changed in the last few years? Simple. The value of the dollar as compared to the Euro. It has now become profitable for European companies to outsource their work to the United States. The only real problem with this new trend to send manufacturing work to the United States is that we sorely lack a skilled workforce that is capable to handle this new workload.

If Squawk or Sir Lez Fatperson had asked, they could've learned something instead of becoming the forum idiots.

Face it, fuckwit. America is bankrupt and fucked and has been so for decades. The only thing that keeps you afloat is your Asian and Arab creditors.

How galling is it that the mud people are so much smarter than the master race that has treated them like shit for centuries!

Looks like bye, bye Budweiser. ROTF, the all-American swill will be foreign owned:

In a reversal of its previous hostility to the idea, Anheuser-Busch is in active talks to sell itself to the Belgian brewer InBev in a friendly deal, people briefed on the matter said Thursday night.

Exact terms of the potential deal could not be learned, but one person said that InBev had indicated that it would be willing to pay more than the $65 a share it had originally offered. People briefed on the deal cautioned that the talks might still break down.

In striking an agreement, Anheuser risks a political backlash from the growing number of hometown politicians and customers who had supported the company in its efforts to remain independent.

What is the big deal here? Japan bought the US in the 80s. We didn't all start speaking Japanese, and they sold it back to us in the 90s at a loss.

Yeah, the US economy is climbing it's way back to the top! You betcha bud. Funny how you never really say anything. You just troll around and jump on people, a real class act.

Well they completely abolished all the checks and balances originally built into the system! So while "mostly" free trade can work just dandy, any time they try it now its a disaster as there is no means to balance the equation and they know it.

Pretty much the same MO the gov always uses. Need MO money? Create a failure and sell it to the public. We the dumb shits buy it every time and feed them MO Money! Its easy to "MAKE" any system fail.
