Pat Choate is one of America's top experts of what's really the cause of America's financial crisis--and the solution. We must restore American manufacturing and stop outsourcing. Listen and learn! Learn about Obama's policies on trade, and much more. American jobs were sent to China, Mexico and the third world, and the only solution is to bring the jobs home again. There is no national wealth in selling Chinese products to each other, we must build our cars, computers, technology and other products here, and stop importing Chinese food too. Make sure Congress knows your views on restoring American manufacturing and jobs--and BUY AMERICAN: the job you save may be your own or that of a friend or family member! America's wealth was "outsourced" along with our jobs. This is why what would have been a minor financial problem became a world-wide crisis. America is hollowed out, the economy we built with factories and high-paying jobs is gone and we lived the last couple decades on "credit cards"--Chinese loans. The ONLY solution is to scrap WTO and NAFTA and rebuild OUR economy. The economy was strong BEFORE NAFTA and WTO, they are the source of today's collapse. Learn from history and bring back manufacturing and high paid jobs.

Although the clothing manufacturers in Texas have experienced as series of declines and expansions, they have slowly increased. At the start of the Civil War there were five clothing manufacturers in Texas that were manufacturing wearing apparel. The war uniforms for the Confederate troops were manufactured by the Huntsville Texas State Penitentiary. There were 33 clothing manufacturers by 1870 however the 1899 census only reported four plants. This number had increased to 11 by 1899 however they represented only 0.13% of the total value of the country’s clothes that were ready made and manufactured in Texas, although in 1839 only 1% was manufactured in Texas.
Of all of the states who were manufacturing clothing during this time Texas was ranked 11th. The clothing manufacturers in Texas only manufactured men’s clothing up until approximately 1910.
Texas designers and manufacturers have successfully challenged the hegemony of the manufacturers in California and New York. With 1,250 manufacturers that employ some 65,100 employees with payroll of about $ 875,000,000 in 1994, the clothing manufacturing industry has been a phenomenon statewide with clothing manufacturers located in large cities and smaller communities. Over ¼ of Texas’ manufacturers of apparel are located in Dallas County. They have over 12,000 employees and an annual payroll of $ 160 million. The counties of Bexar and El Paso are also manufacturing centers.
The pioneering manufacturers had emerged as manufacturers of clothing that was better suited to seasonal demands and regional tastes of the Southwest by the late 1920’s. Enterprises such as the Haggar Company (Dallas, 1926), Santone Industries (San Antonio 1923), the Williamson Dickie Manufacturing Company (Fort Worth, 1922), Farah (El Paso, 1920), the Lorch Manufacturing Company (Dallas, 1909), and the Finesilver Manufacturing Company (San Antonio, 1897) manufactured children’s play clothes, ladies cotton dresses, and men’s pants and work clothes. In the 1930’s Dallas manufacturers like Justin McCarty, Marcy Lee, Donovan, and Nardis manufactured distinctive new lines of clothing by capitalizing on the ability to sell the inexpensive house dress made of cotton and particularly ladies’ slacks, for consumption nationally.
Texas had 103 clothing manufacturers in 1933, 102 in 1929, and 73 in 1917. During World War II the receipt of federal contracts to manufacture large quantities of military uniforms allowed Texas manufacturers to expand their national sales contracts by modernizing the manufacturing machinery. The Dallas Fashion and Sportswear Center was formed by manufacturers in 1942 manufacturers and is now known as the Southwest Apparel Manufacturers Association. This aggressive trade organization published their own magazine call Texas fashions from 1842 to 1972, expanded the number and size of markets in apparel in Dallas, sponsored elaborate style shows, and used advertisements in national fashion magazines.
The growth in the national importance of fashions designed and manufactured in Texas continued during the postwar period. Texas had over 20,000 employees in 361 manufacturing plants in 1947. Many of the pioneering manufacturers decentralized the manufacturing operations in order to find new labor markets from the large urban centers by locating manufacturing plants in smaller communities throughout Texas, particularly along the Mexican border. Manufacturers introduced new lines of clothing that was casual and was manufactured from polyester fabric that was wrinkle resistant. Retailers that were fashion minded like Dallas’ Neiman-Marcus provided a favorable fashion climate for the expansion of the Texas clothing manufacturers. Their management was able to discourage the unionization of the workers of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America and the International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union and operated in a conservative economic environment. The manufacturers of related items and clothing were the 4th largest manufacturing industry in Texas in terms of the size of the payroll and the number of workers in 1963. With a payroll of over $ 124 million and 150 workers the industry was only outdone by the manufacturing of allied products, chemicals, transportation, and machinery.
One catalyst to the continued growth of clothing manufacturing in 1984 in Texas was the opening of the $ 15,000,000 Dallas Apparel Mart building. It was the country’s largest wholesale fashion center to be under one roof with 2,300,000 ft. 2 of space in 7 retail stores having 2,000 separate showrooms by 1984. Annually, the Apparel Mart attracted about 80,000 customers. Dallas manufacturers like Victor Costa, Jerell Prophesy, and Howard B. Wolf provided an upgraded style of clothing for a certain segment of the population and established a special niche for themselves. They placed an emphasis on the passing on of traditional values from one generation to the next and private corporate ownership brought about longevity of existence and continuity in ownership with many Texas manufacturers that were unprecedented in the national clothing industry. By the mid 1980’s the competition from imports produced by labor that was inexpensive which started to alarm all Texas clothing manufacturers. However, through audacity in action and creativity in policy these challenges were successfully met.

Question by missusjustice: THE COUNTRY of TEXAS?...........? Please note that Texas is the only state with a legal right to secede from the Union. (Reference the Texas-American Annexation Treaty of 1848.) We Texans love y'all but we'll probably have to take action since Barack Obama won the election. We'll miss you too. Here is what can happen: 1: Barack Hussein Obama becomes President of the United States and Texas immediately secedes from the Union. 2: George W. Bush will become the President of the Republic of Texas. You might not think that he talks too pretty but we haven't had another terrorist attack and the economy was fine until the effects of the Democrats lowering the qualifications for home loans came to roost. So what does Texas have to do to survive as a Republic? 1. NASA is just south of Houston, Texas. We will control the space industry. 2. We refine over 85% of the gasoline in the United States. 3. Defense Industry--we have over 65% of it. The term "Don't mess with Texas" will take on a whole new meaning. 4. Oil - we can supply all the oil that the Republic of Texas will need for the next 300 years. What will the other states do? Gee, we don't know. Why not ask Obama? 5. Natural Gas - again we have all we need and it's too bad about those Northern States. John Kerry and Al Gore will have to figure out a way to keep them warm.... 6. Computer Industry - we lead the nation in producing computer chips and communications equipment -small companies like Texas Instruments, Dell Computer, EDS, Raytheon, National Semiconductor, Motorola Intel, AMD, Atmel, Applied Materials Ball, Miconductor, Dallas Semiconductor Nortel, Alcatel, etc etc. The list goes on and on. 7. Medical Care - We have the research centers for cancer research, the best burn centers and the top trauma units in the world as well as other large health centers. The Houston Medical Center alone employs over 65000 people. 8. We have enough colleges to keep us getting smarter: University of Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Texas Christian, Rice, SMU, University of Dallas, University of Houston, Baylor, UNT (University of North Texas), Texas Women's University, etc. Ivy grows better in the South anyway. 9. We have an intelligent and energetic work force and it isn't restricted by a bunch of unions. Here in Texas it's a Right to Work State and, therefore, it's every man and women for themselves. We just go out and get the job done. And if we don't like the way one company operates we get a job somewhere else. 10. We have essential control of the paper, plastics, and insurance Industries etc. 11. In case of a foreign invasion we have the Texas National Guard, the Texas Air National Guard and several military bases. We don't have an Army but since everybody down here has at least six rifles and a pile of ammo, we can raise an Army in 24 hours if we need one. If the situation really gets bad, we can always call the Department of Public Safety and ask them to send over the Texas Rangers. 12. We are totally self-sufficient in beef, poultry, hogs and several types of grain, fruit and vegetables, and let's not forget seafood from the Gulf. Also everybody down here knows how to cook them so that they taste good. Don't need any food. 13. Three of the ten largest cities in the United States and twenty-three of the 100 largest cities in the United States are located in Texas. And Texas also has more land than California, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Maryland, Rhode Island and Vermont combined. 14. Trade: Three of the ten largest ports in the United States are located in Texas. 5. We also manufacture cars down here but we don't need to. You see nothing rusts in Texas, so our vehicles stay beautiful and run well for decades. This just names a few of the items that will keep the Republic of Texas in good shape. There isn't a thing out there that we need and don't have. Now to the rest of the United States under President Obama: Since you won't have the refineries to get gas for your cars, only President Obama will be able to drive around in his big 9 mpg SUV. The rest of the United States will have to walk or ride bikes. You won't have any TV as the Space Center in Houston will cut off satellite communications. You won't have any natural gas to heat your homes but since Mr. Obama has predicted global warming you will not need the gas as long as you survive the 2000 years it will take to get enough heat from Global Warming. So in other words go screw yourselves. Oh that's right. You already have! Signed The People of Texas P.S. This is not a threatening letter - just a note to give you something to think about! SLEEP WELL TONIGHT THE EYES OF TEXAS ARE UPON YOU i hope to see a LOT of fellow texan support here! nodumgys, that is for the yanks that dont know any better. lol Best answer for THE COUNTRY of TEXAS?...........?:

Answer by Kman
1. Johnson space center is outside Houston, it's mission control and astronaut training. It's one of over a dozen NASA installations. It doesn't host the research, production, or launch facilities. It would certainly not exist if Texas left the union. 2 - Oil refinement is not difficult. It's jut not. It's only done in Texas because of lose environmental laws. 3. I don't buy that Texas has 65% of the defense industry. Lockheed Martin is headquartered in Maryland, Raytheon in Massachusetts, Aircraft manufactures are in Washington State. What precisely is in Texas? 4 & 5. It's irrelevant given that 70% of our oil is imported. 6. That's incorrect. Motorola is headquartered in Illinois, Intel & AMD in California. Most computer hardware is produced in Southeast Asia and designed in CA & the Northeast. Leading domestic manufacturing is a meaningless number given foreign suppliers dwarf that. Texas contributes fairly little to software development. 7. The best medical facilities in the country are in greater Boston and California. Simply having hospitals doesn't make Texas remotely unique. 8. Texas schools are known for their football programs more than their scholars. None hold a candle to Harvard, M.I.T., Stanford, Yale, UC Berkley, etc. 9. Most occupations in the U.S. aren't unionized. It's just older manufacturing companies in the rust belt. 10. Again, wrong. Hartford, CT is the insurance center of the US. Ohio & New Jersey produce more plastics, and polymer science is bigger on the coasts. 11. Sigh. What do Fort Bragg, Annapolis, and Eglin have in common? Not in Texas. 12. The US is a net exporter of food. It doesn't really matter that Texas is too. 13. It's disingenuous to suggest that San Antonio is one of the 10 largest cities in the US because you're considering only the city limits and not the metro area. It's really not that big. Houston is a ****hole, and Dallas has absolutely zero interesting things about it.
