I know this article is nine months old but it's premise is pretty solid IMHO.

I like the guy's solution as well, unfortunately it'll never happen.

Eh. There's a reason the US got rid of most factory jobs.

Health rinks would be solved by taking a green direction which the article suggests.

If the US had a large boom in green manufacturing, that would boost the US's position quite a bit. We would have to invent or improve technologies, as well. That's what Obama wants to do. I agree with Obama, on this particular point.

I don't know what you're talking about.

When did "we" do that? I thought most of them still remained?

"Green" is rarely the interest that motivates business to relocate their factories. $

Compare to the early 20th century. Far more people were being forced to take unskilled factory jobs. Now we've outsourced most of those.

Well if you don't want to force businesses not to outsource overtly, you can always do it through tariffs and value added taxation.

No where in that article did it say "The reason the US economy wont recover is because it's run by a black man and we all know black people are shit with money and will only spend it on crack and hookers". So I fail to see how it's valid at all.

True story.

they also forgot to mention that a third of the stimulus bill is inevitably going to pay his baby's mama for child support.
