Publisher's Note

In the near future we may find our living standard diminished and our prospects for growth and economic independence dampened.

Every sensible country protects its industries and companies from foreign takeover. Protectionism is a matter of self-survival.

The wealth that the U.S. achieved in the early 20th century has been eroded by encouraging other countries to build their industrial base while not taking care to ensure a domestic industrial future in this country.

A country that produces nothing produces no wealth.

Nearly all manufactured goods now coming from overseas. The labor force is being quietly redeployed into lower-paying service, retail, hospitality, assembly, or distribution jobs that are transient, do not support communities, careers, or provide benefits.
