Most of
the companies in the Fortune 100 in 1960 were major manufacturing companies and
oil companies. The manufacturing companies included autos, trucks, auto parts,
tires, construction equipment, agricultural equipment, airplanes, ships, steel,
aluminum, chemicals, food, drugs, paper products, appliances, tools, business
machines, computers, televisions, radios, cameras, telephones, home
furnishings, shoes, clothing, carpets, bedding, draperies, furniture and military
equipment. These companies made “necessities”. They made everything we use.
Most
products were made in the US by US citizen workers and these products were
mostly sold in the US to US consumers. These are the jobs we are attempting to
bring back to the US.
The
revenues reported below demonstrate how inflation has ravaged the US economy
