As a 24 year old male, born and raised in the midwest, who now works with numerous professional manufacturers (both large and small) on a daily basis...
I blame the generation(s) that came before me for leaving such a mess. Foreign trade policies, labor unions, and a general lack of intelligence are slowly bringing our country to her knees.
I pray that most of my generation can see what I do, but I fear they too are blinded by decision makers who talk of the grandeur the USA once was, but no longer is.
Simple Answer: We (USA) cannot compete, and it's our own fault.
