When the facts came out, it turned out to be nothing like FOX declared. A net loss for the republicans, it was.
They are frightened and dispirited. Having your leaders picked off one by one tends to do that. The president's re-election, to them, means four more years of wondering when the next drone strike will take one of them out.
I notice, though, that Jeep is expanding and manufacturing in the U.S. is doing better now than it has in years.
U.S. Chamber of Commerce says:
a) American manufacturing remained at the forefront of the United States’ economic expansion for the second year in a row and re-established itself as one of the economy’s strongest sectors;
b) An erosion of China’s manufacturing cost advantages, especially for wages, started to bring manufacturing production back to the United States from China and other low-wage countries, reversing a decade-long trend of outsourcing production overseas; and,
c) An abundance of domestic shale-based natural gas brought gas prices to record low levels and sparked a new boom in the United States for energy-intensive manufacturing.
As a result of these trends, American manufacturing in 2011 had its best year in at least a generation by all relevant measures of economic performance: profits, output growth, and employment gains. In fact, it’s possible that we will look back on 2011 as a watershed year that marked the beginning of a great manufacturing renaissance in America.

I predict they will continue to decline in numbers as they have in the last four years.
Safe bet. It always has in an expanding economy.
Sounds like a plan.
I already am. But it doesn't have anything to to with what America does.
