The reality is that most Americans aren't interested in manufacturing

I don't know how things are in your country but this country has always

payers. They try to remain invisible.

America will never be prosperous and rich while exploiting the poor and

elderly Americans, and our educational system. You can take that to the

Exploiting the poor and powerless has always worked, starting
when we lived in caves.  It's not going to vanish anytime soon,
but we can reduce it.  Not, of course, that this will happen in
the U.S. within the next four years.

No, any chance of that will have to wait four years.
