If you watched this year's State of the Union address, the above words spoken by President Barack Obama are probably still echoing in your ears. Whether you are a republican or democrat matters very little when it comes to the success of the American people. We all want prosperity, job security, growth in manufacturing and a continued realization of the American dream, regardless of political leanings. The industrialization of China, India and other emerging nations combined with American companies outsourcing manufacturing has created serious competition for American workers. Add on top of this the recessionary woes of the last few years: the limited credit, the inventory shortfalls and serious product safety violations coming from overseas manufacturers, and one can see the "perfect storm" that was created for American factories.
