   In the past maybe 30 or so years many jobs have been lost overseas.  Can   
   we get them back?  Yes, but we will have to pay more for the goods.   
   I bought my first TV in 1966 and it was made in the US.  It has been   
   quite a few years since that has happened though some are assembled here.   
      
   That first B&W portable was about $150 then and I can get a decent TV   
   for the same real dollars today.   
      
   Are we willing to pay for those jobs? Remember when Dad worked in the   
   factory and made enough to support a family and buy a modest house?  We   
   can't do that and have cheap appliances.
