And if the factories can't survive without government coin then the industry isn't right for this country.
The government can't allow itself to be held hostage by every CEO or CFO that says give us money or we'll move.
Manufacturing of consumer products in North America is a dying industry anyways. We care too much about our environment, we have too high of a cost of living to support it, and we don't literally have a slave state of workers making pennies on the dollar to work.
Even the vaunted quality control that our manufacturers have stood behind when they've bleated against the cheaper manufacturing in the developing world is narrowing.
