AMERICAN MANUFACTURING - NOT WHAT YOU THINK!

This is an interesting MSNBC video.  What they are not mentioning of course is that manufacturing for small products that require intricate molds and painting have left the USA. Small toys, dolls, all rubber ducks, etc. are totally gone. Hey, even radio flyer is now making this classic in China. So it's only certain industries that can still survive, while others like ours have been decimated. And now, being the only rubber duck company in America, I can tell you no-one else will be doing them here, but us....too expensive plus no labor skills left to make these kinds of products. But I am glad to see the big stuff made here is doing well.
