All may not be lost gentleman as wages are increasing in China it's not as affordable for some manufacturing to pay the higher wages plus the expense of shipping. There are economists predicting that as many as 3 million manufacturing jobs could be returning to the US within next few years.

It's what this country needs to grow our economy again.

This is actually true to a point. I was in China earlier this year and they were posting this on their own news about rising wages and lack of skilled labor. Only problem is they were talking about the manufacturing moving to Vietnam and Bangladesh rather than back here.

Well the way I see it is that China has cheap labour but are paying through the nose for energy.
Soooo we have all the energy we can shake a stick at. Lower the price of gas to around 50 cents a litre or 2.00 a gallon and make everyone else outside of north america pay premium price for OUR crude.
while your at it you could also lower the price of electricity.
