da fuq do you care about our manufacturing? Obama destroyed it
The greatest decline since 1980 happened under Bush 43 not Obama.
But what do you care about truth?

So what did the Kenyan mongrel pole-smoking crackhead commie bastard do to stimulate the manufacturing sector? Deregulation? Tax cuts? Repatriation of companies back to the US? Tariffs on foreign products?
Oh wait: The only thing he did was to throw up his hands and say the manufacturing jobs aren't coming back. What a fuckin' surrender-monkey Obama was.
Who taught you that? Why don't you look at what he really said instead of what you were told he said?
"But frankly, part of
it has had to do with automation. You go into an auto factory today that used to have 10,000 people and now they've got 1,000 people making the same number of cars or more. And — so what that means is even though we're making the same amount of stuff in our manufacturing sector, we're employing fewer people.
Now, the good news is that there are entire new industries that are starting to pop up and you're actually seeing some manufacturers coming back to the United States because they're starting to realize, "You know what? Energy prices are lower here, workers are better here, this is our biggest market. And so even though we off-shored and went someplace else before, now it turns out we're better off going ahead and manufacturing here."
But for those folks who have lost their job right now because a plant went down the Mexico, that isn't going to make you feel better. And so what we have to do is to make sure that folks are trained for the jobs that are coming in now because
some of those jobs of the past are just not going to come back, and when somebody says, like the person you just mentioned who I'm not going to advertise for, that he's going to bring all these jobs back, well how exactly are you going to do that? What are you going to do?"
