The story goes something like this: newly-elected Barack Obama called a meeting with folks in high-tech fields, executives at Apple and other companies, to talk about obstacles to American manufacturing. Basically, what do we have to do as a country, to get these guys to produce Ipods and Ipads in the United States? Are our environmental laws prohibitive?

Among the biggest reasons that we can’t produce things like Ipods and Ipads in the United States: We don’t have enough mid-level engineers in this country, and that’s what these manufacturing plants need on-site during production. Countries like India and China—they have a plethora of them.—
