There has been a small increase in manufacturing in the USA. Manufacturers have found that with automation they can actually make things in the USA cheaper than in China with shipping costs. Using computers and robots they have nearly fully automated some manufacturing.

The problem the manufacturers are having is that there are not enough people in the USA to repair and maintain the new automatic facilities. Schools are producing graduates that are great at video games and tweeting and not much else. The schools have coddled the students giving out medals for last place and telling them how they should feel good about themselves. “R U hme”, is now considered ‘good enough’ for language skills.

While Russia’s Putin flexes his muscles for the cameras and hunts bare-chested from horseback our President goes golfing. While China has started building Aircraft carriers Obama is cutting our military. While our unemployed languish at home, their wives plead with Obama for jobs as he is passing out visas to high-tech immigrants.

We are becoming a country of spectators of life waiting for our unemployment checks and voting for the political party that promises to take care of us. Our future is beginning to look like a job at McDonalds asking an immigrant if he would like fries with his order.

But hey, if the world ever needs some tweeters or video game players we have a lock on those jobs.

Well, I have to go. I need to call tech support in India.
