Remember all that stimulus money we spent? Instead of bailing out teachers (now getting laid off anyway) or subsidizing foreign manufacturers (see: septa's hybrid fleet, made in canada) we could have supported and encouraged manufacturing. Just like Germany did to great success.

The Stimulus Plan: How to Spend $787 Billion - The New York Times

Mind showing the class how much was spent on bailing out teachers? The purpose of the stimulus wasn't to narrow the trade deficit, it was to stimulate the economy and that's exactly what it did. PA and Philly benefited from it after all.
