Survey Says!
Last week's CyberPoll focused on the new manufacturing "czar," Ron Bloom. The majority of respondents (88.2%) do not believe that Bloom has the experience necessary to solve the problems faced by U.S. manufacturing. One reader suggested: "Focus on domestic production, increase incentives for U.S. made production." Another said: "Ensure U.S. industry is on a level playing field as far as taxes go. For example, imports from Russia to the U.S. have very low tariff, but the tariffs are so high going the other direction it is not profitable to sell into Russia." Several other readers suggested that Bloom should resign.
