There will be no meaningful recovery until we find a way to replace
all the jobs that we have sent offshore.


Not sure I agree with the "replace all" comment, but I do certainly
agree
with the rest of the statement.


I am not sure why you disagree with "all" unless you mean "all plus
the new kids entering the market".
Our economy has been based on the middle class having good jobs. We
really have to start making things here again.
Maybe we should have a telethon to collect money to rebuild the US
infrastructure after we are done in Haiti..



If you use a term such as "all" or "every" it's almost always wrong.
Some
jobs won't be replaced.

I agree a lot of auto workers are not going to be making cars but they
could be making other things. I believe wind energy is a boondoggle
but if people are willing to do it, it is not a bad place for factory
workers to work. There are plenty of things we need in the
infrastructure area. We just need to talk people into paying for it.



What's wrong with wind turbines? They seem to work... of course, it'll
require some investment...


Then you invest. Don't ask government too, no need to. If you believe in
it, and it makes money instead of being next years garbage, you will
profit!

Governments waste... last thing we need is more of it. Current policy is
economic suicide. Pure and simple.



Not pure and simple, except if you're talking about yourself. Again, you no
nothing about the technology or industry or the economics of it.
