#2 Do we make anything here, anymore? Maybe we should bring all the important stuff home. That might create a few jobs. Kill the unions first. Put in place a RTW Law nationwide.

#3 "with other manufacturing locations"

As in, America was never even considered.

Our rulers sell us out for cheap labor every time. They are despicable.

#4 At least we have our best people on the case. The clam brained Lord has already 'discovered' international dependencies. Golly! I wonder did she accomplish that on her own, or was Dr Watson required. Then, with commanding persuasion she tells some Mexican counterpart we are feeling 'impact'. Well just double-Golly. No doubt she is now confounded, yea baffled with the inevitable reply, 'Y yo siento porque?'

#6 There's that balance of consumers paying higher prices for products (to maintain [union] labor) or to outsource production with cheaper labor costs with corresponding cheaper prices for consumers. If quality is the same or better, I am for cheaper prices every time.

Having said that, you mean to tell me that the Pentagon has factories which are "vital" to US weapons programs but are overseas? Uh, yeah, o.k.

#7 It seems that “felony stupid” is a prerequisite KSA in the defense logistics agency penumbra as well. Is there any part of our government that PC and diversity selection hasn’t ruined?

#8 I won't believe that theses are all morons and stupid people until you can show me all the relevant financial transactions.

In other words, follow the money.

I expect that there's a whole passle of evil greed-heads in the chain getting fat on this.

#9 We are ruled by traitors who are pretending to be morons in order to avoid accountability.

#10 It take a while to build a new factory and get it up to speed. In the meantime, the need for the product remains. And how many of those factories just south of the border belong to American companies whose home office employs Americans living north of the Mexican border?
