Times have changed.  We don't have enough people to make everything we 
want to buy. Sure, we can make more stuff here, but then we don't want 
to pay the price for it.

I got married in 1966 and bought a 19" B&W portable TV made in the USA 
and paid about $160 for it.  Over a week's pay at the time.  Look at 
what I can buy today for the same real dollars price made in Asia.
