I certainly wouldn't, if it's not completely dead it's on life support. The U.S. has still not learned to control labor costs.
The US needs a Moon-shot style program focused on robotics and alternative energy costs. We are like corks bobbing in the rapids. The only thing that can compete with Chinese labor are robots. The only way to generate the investment capital needed to re-tool the entire economy is to end the massive outflow of energy dollars. Yet no one has done anything for a decade. Obama better get his a** in gear.
