NEW POLL: Decline of Manufacturing Jobs, Loss of Global Economic Standing, and Fears About China are Top Voter Concerns
Posted by scapozzola on 06/24/2010
The verdict is in. Americans, no longer see the U.S. as the world's strongest economy, and they believe Washington isn't doing enough to save manufacturing jobs.
That's the results of a new poll released by the Alliance for American Manufacturing (AAM).
1,000 likely voters were polled and it turns out that their top concern is "We have lost too many manufacturing jobs." They rank that above even such urgent issues as government debt, loss of life in Iraq and Afghanistan, the high cost of health care, illegal immigration, or terrorism.

Nice job! We have been
Nice job! We have been screaming about this for years...Gingrich is running around the country calling china "an evil empire" and yet does it speaking into a mic and video equipment made oversees, which we watch on tvs/radios all made oversees as well. The loss of our internal manufacturing capabilities has left this country extremely vunerable. Who did this to us?
Big picture:
700 Trillion in worldwide junk derivatives + two major blackhole wars (Iraq/Afghanistan) + 177 regional wars + massive worldwide government and personal debt + worldwide government budget deficits + oil gushing catastrophe + breakdown between American civilian politicians and military brass + breakdown in US foreign relations (especially military alliances) = A worldwide zeitgeist failure! Is WWIII is here?
