Subsidized manufacturing

Being self reliant in agriculture is a big bonus for America and this happened because of intelligent subsidies. If some one had done that for manufacturing too then America would not have had so many manufacturing job losses. Subsidies may be one of the ways to compete by keeping prices of goods low. Another is of course large scale cnc manufacturing. Labor leaders try to keep automation out on the pretext of losing jobs. But the real reason is they are afraid that they may not be able learn new skills. And thus most jobs got shipped elsewhere. People must become leaders only if the are willing to keep on top of new technology so that they can predict where their followers must go. Frankly, current labor leaders all over the world are opportunistic and dumb and do nothing for struggling labor except to make sure the leaders do not lose their power.

There is nothing more exciting than manufacturing. Morever, CNC manufacturing will bring in jobs across the spectrum, a lot more real jobs than alternate energy jobs which is all the rage today. New areas like alternate energy is well funded with very little expectations in return. So a lot of people have a well paid vacation in the name of research. On the other hand manufacturing cannot lie. Everyone can clearly see how many pens you made and how much it should cost. Moreover there is no room for misleading experts to interpret results. Now are we surprised that manufacturing jobs are rather unpopular in these times and place?
