I hear ya man! Heck...just look at any industry you want you'll find what you wrote about jobs going over seas is so true, dead on, right on! The auto industry is a perfect example of this...all we do here now is assemble an automobile. I have no idea how many genuine made in U.S.A. parts is on my 97 model Chevy but I'm pretty sure it's not 100% made in U.S.A. We don't build no where near as many parts here as we used to, for anything...household appliances, you name it.
