So if the United States continues to allow its manufacturing base to erode at a staggering pace how in the world can the U.S. If the deindustrialization of America continues at this current pace, what possible kind of a future are we going to be leaving to our children?Īny great nation throughout history has been great at making things. Today that is no longer true, but Americans sure do consume more than anyone else in the world. Once upon a time America could literally outproduce the rest of the world combined. The United States has become bloated and spoiled and our economy is now just a shadow of what it once was. Yes, trash is the number one thing that we ship out to the rest of the world as we voraciously blow our money on whatever the rest of the world wants to sell to us. Do you know what our biggest export is today? The United States has become a nation that consumes everything in sight and yet produces increasingly little. Millions upon millions of manufacturing jobs have been lost in the same time period. Tens of thousands of factories have left the United States in the past decade alone. But now we are witnessing the deindustrialization of America. It was the great American manufacturing base that crushed Germany and Japan in World War II. It was America that showed the world how to mass produce everything from automobiles to televisions to airplanes.
