Why is Nothing Made in America Anymore?

The following is the introduction to an NPR program, here&now, on which CPA's Chief Co-Chair, Brian O'Shaughnessy, was featured. The entire broadcast can be heard here. 

More than 42,000 U.S. factories have closed since 2001, when China entered the World Trade Organization. But Richard McCormack says that’s not the only reason why so little is made here anymore.  We speak with McCormack, who is editor of Manufacturing and Technology News. We also speak with Brian O’Shaughnessy, chairman of Revere Copper Products, who is also a leading voice in the Coalition for a Prosperous America, a business group trying to change U.S. international tax and trade policy.


 
Presentation by CPA's Brian O'Shaughnessy

Brian O'Shaughnessy is CPA's Chief Co-Chair and Manufacturing Co-Chair.  We also have a Labor Co-Chair, Bob Baugh, and Agriculture Co-Chair, Joe Logan.

Brian, Chairman of Revere Copper Products, presented at the R-CALF USA annual convention on Friday, January 22, 2010.  His presentation involved a discussion of how America became strong through making and growing things here, his history in mining and ranching, the strategic importance of continuing that course, and how we all need to work together to fix America's trade and economic problems.

The video presentation is available here.
