Reply #23: Yes, done in Argentina...

The US is not Argentina and this kind of thing would still take years.

People have to wake up to the fact we live in a global economy. While there are a few success stories such as this there is no realistic way to repeat this sort of thing worldwide or even here in the US on a massive scale.

The US needs to develop resources to replace manufacturing for the long term. Going green, developing infrastructure, advancing technology, improving health care and raising education is a good start.

Obama knows that we can't bring those jobs back in a realistic fashion. This is why he's promoting those very things that I mentioned. We need to develop for the future and to stop clinging to the past.
