    In fact, they just plan on peeling off the sticker.

    A good portion is just manufacturing companies

    Those silly Chinese. Basing their economy on manufacturing.

    They should be basing their economy on credit default swaps and subprime mortgages.

    And you're ignorant of the situation to still think that the USA still makes tons of shit, when most of it is in fact, manufactured in Mexico, Singapore, Taiwan, Malaysia, etc, shipped to China for final assembly, and then brought back to the USA.

    If your version of things was true, Ohio, PA, and basically any and every other state/commonwealth that relied on manufacturing wouldn't be struggling so much because 90% or more of their manufacturing base is gone.

    Have you actually BEEN to Detroit, Lansing, or ANY of the other manufacturing cities in Michigan lately?

    What the fuck is wrong with your brain?
