Doesn't this ring true! Joe Smith started the day early having set his alarm clock(MADE IN JAPAN)for 6 a.m. While his coffeepot (MADE IN CHINA) was perking, he shaved with his electric razor (MADE IN HONG KONG).
He put on a dress shirt (MADE IN SRI LANKA), designer jeans (MADE IN
SINGAPORE) and tennis shoes (MADE IN KOREA). After cooking his breakfast in his new electric skillet (MADE IN INDIA) he sat down with his calculator (MADE IN MEXICO) to see how much he could spend today. After setting his watch (MADE IN TAIWAN) to the radio (MADE IN INDIA) he got in his car(MADE IN GERMANY) and continued his search for a good paying AMERICAN JOB. At the end of yet another discouraging and fruitless day, Joe decided to relax for a while. He put on his sandals (MADE IN BRAZIL) poured himself a glass of wine (MADE IN FRANCE) and turned on his TV (MADE IN INDONESIA), and then wondered why he can't find a good paying job in.....AMERICA
sort of funny, c.i., . . . . . . but not really
We've known for a while that the economic future of the US cannot be heavily based upon manufactuting jobs, as it has been in the past. It's high tech and service areas that need togenerate jobs here, don't you think ?
Heavy manufacturing the the US was doomed when the EPA was created. Foundries in Asia still pump out the smoke that we no longer can here.
