I honestly do.
One of the things that concern me is that I don't want to see our country get overly lost in the service sector, whether it be research or whatever the case may be. Keep one thing in mind: when we manufacture things and we deliver them promptly in North America, we do have a significant advantage over our competitors overseas. If we're quick and responsive and flexible, we can hang on to a lot of market share here in North America.
As transportation improves, we'll see a tougher battle there, but understand one thing: when we start moving high-tech jobs overseas, where we are transferring knowledge, it takes about six weeks to move manufactured goods from China to the mid-west; it takes about six-tenths of a second to transfer intellectual knowledge, intellectual property, around the world.
So...got it?
