Drug users saving the United States

It would help the cause of recreational drug users if you could do some things to save the United States.
As we saw in a previous message, the United States will fall unless large numbers of new manufacturing jobs are quickly created in America. Here is a new idea for an incentive program which would probably accomplish that goal and save the United States. If you agree, you could work to make this happen, and so would save America if the idea were accepted.
The idea is that if, in a particular year, a business, domestic or foreign, increased the number of its manufacturing jobs in the United States to 120 percent above the highest number of manufacturing jobs it had ever had in America, that company would receive a special benefit the following year.
In the following year, anyone required to pay American income taxes would be able to take half the cost of any items they purchased made by the company as a tax deduction. Since Americans are in love with tax deductions, that would substantially increase company sales. Then if the company increased to 120 percent again that following year, it would have the benefit also, and so forth for as long as the business continued to increase American manufacturing jobs by the required amount.
The government would lost tax revenues from the tax deductions, but it would have increased revenues from the increased number of jobs.
China's economy has been growing at almost 10 percent per year for a long time, and there is no reason America couldn't do as well as China if the proper incentives were in place.

OP.
So... in the age of information, why would you think manufacturing will save america? Dont you want people with the education to innovate to do exactly that? Whats with all the people thinking manufacturing is the only way to create wealth and "save america". Im glad to leave the job of putting things together to someone else or even better, robots. And for that matter, why the fuck are you spouting all this downfall of america shit and the comparisons to china? Id say the chances are pretty good that the average american is doing substantially better than the average chinese. Whatever problem america is having, it starts with you. If you look for negativity and failure, you're going to find it. If you look for opportunity you're going to find that. I think you need to open your eyes and realize that things are getting better everyday and have been for a long time. Americas not falling apart and we're not on the egde of any downfall. Especially compared to china. Wtf. Current politics is politics as usual dude. This shit has always been the same.
My advice is to cheer up, stop the irrational whining, and follow your dreams. Not only is it still possible, its easier than ever! The world is what you make it, so stop listening to all these fools with their negativity. Just do it. For fucks sake man.
