There's a difference between saying corporate welfare is a bad idea and saying manufacturing in the US is a bad idea. I said the former and you inferred the latter. I criticized the implementation of an idea and you focused on the idea. It's amazing how predictable you lot are.

For the record - manufacturing output in the US is trending upward[0] (sans recession). Manufacturing employment is down, not because it's outsourced to China, but because its being automated.
