The funny thing I see is a North/South thing taking place, I've yet to see any Southern representative say they are for it. I guess they figure they are immune to the consequences.

Here's the truth the US basically manufactures very little anymore, they sold out all of the traditional manufacturing over the last 40 years. The only large manufacturing industries left automotive, defense and an aerospace industry that is a shadow of what it was in it's hay day.

So hey let it fail, then you can buy everything from overseas manufactures. Just for the record I wouldn't expect the transplants to stay in the US if it looses the domestic production, they too will go to cheaper labour markets.

The thing that really took the cakes for me was listening to some big ignorant senator during the hearings say " he had a problem using tax payers money to pay salaries and benefits to workers that have better salaries and benefits than most". He doesn't have a problem taking taxpayers money to fund his salaries and benefits that are better than most.

Got to love this race to the bottom.
