What manufacturing sector, pan?
Manufacturing jobs are not coming back to the US for a long time, if ever.
I do agree that we need our education to be better funded and would add that it needs to be directed toward the creation of new economy sectors.
I disagree that raising minimum wages are a band-aid. Even if it is, I still place band-aids on my cuts until they scab over so I don't get infected during the interim.
