American manufacturers need to find
way to make better tools at a competative price.

Most that are still in business today do just that ... they take it
overseas
to take advantage of the lower cost of the second of the two necessities
for
goods production in Eco 101.

You're not an American manufacturer if your stuff is made overseas. You
are an American importer then.

Agreed ... notice the trend?

Although I am not a Bush basher, and can't swear to it as it may just be
partisan BS, but I recently read somewhere that the Admininistration is
trying to get fast food restaurants re-classifed from "Service" to
"Manufacturing".

With the number of manufacturing jobs being lost to this country, it's not
hard to figure how much better that would be for the statistics.
