In my previous blog, (to see it, CLICK here)<\/a><\/span><\/strong> I listed how America is falling apart.\u00a0Here is\u00a0why:<\/p>\n

1) America has not built one refinery since 1976<\/p>\n

2) America has not built one nuclear plant since 2000<\/p>\n

3) From 2000-2005, not a single manufacturing payroll classification created a single new job.<\/p>\n

4) The USA has lost approximately 42,400 factories and 32 percent of manufacturing jobs since 2000. In 1959, manufacturing represented 28 percent of economic output. In 2008, it represented 11.5 percent.<\/p>\n

5) Manufacturing employment in the U.S. computer industry is lower in 2010 than it was in 1975.<\/p>\n

6) America’s trade deficit with China increased 300 percent in last ten years,which could cause eventually the loss of a million jobs this year alone.Half a trillion yearly leave America due to trade deficit.<\/p>\n

7) Intel CEO Paul Otellini stated it costs $1 billion more per factory for Intel to build, equip, and operate a semiconductor manufacturing facility in the United States. (Why? Because of parasitical attorneys and their lawsuits and overweening government regulations imposed on industry?)<\/p>\n

8) 75% of all of U.S. corporate profits increase in third quarter 2010 went to financial institutions (BANKS?) that workers bailed out with tax dollars rather than manufacturing and other productive sectors.<\/p>\n
