今年的圣诞晚会本来可以是一场七月四日的野餐。 料理？ 热狗、汉堡、薯条和苹果派。 那些装饰？ 一面写着”美国制造”的横幅和一面巨大的美国国旗。 还有娱乐，这是共同所有者Dana Matejka发明的游戏。

前几天，马特伊卡在附近的Costco花了一些时间，买下了她所能找到的每一件美国制造的东西。 她的疯狂是没有韵律的，也没有理由的;如果她看到它，上面写着”美国制造”，她就把它加到她的购物车里。 Matejka 收到了19件物品，从 Pyrex 玻璃器皿到 Sky 伏特加，零食混合到工具。 她在疯狂购物后调查了这些公司。 客人们被邀请参加一个琐碎的游戏，被问及各种美国制造公司，并得到相应的产品的知识奖励。

这是这家总部位于阿祖萨的公司在”大衰退”前经常举办的那种聚会，当时该公司雇用了22人，有时24人。

Matejka怀念那些日子:一个规模更大的工作人员的同志情谊，以及她多么喜欢来工作，因为总是有有趣和新鲜的事情要做——而且总是有工作要做。

加利福尼亚工具模具公司

加利福尼亚工具与模具公司，像许多美国小型制造企业一样，近年来一直在挣扎。

Matejka的父亲是一家工具和模具制造商，1977年在Matejka哥哥的帮助下创办了这家店。 Matejka当时还是高中一年级学生，计划上大学并从事注册会计师的工作。 结婚、生子、离婚后,她一直担任女服务员,所以父亲下达最后通牒”要么现在来,要么干脆不要来”时,她。

“我觉得我有一些影响力，”马特伊卡说。 “当（她和二哥）得到一部分生意，后来又买下剩下的生意时，这是一种真正的成就感和成功感。”

让我们快进几年吧。 Matejka 有会计学位。 如前所述，她和另一个兄弟买下了他们的父亲和哥哥，成为加州工具和死亡公司的共同所有者。 他们在2004年收购了一家铝丝网印刷制造公司。 然而，随着时间的推移，情况开始发生变化。 该公司过去曾收到大量订单，有时达数万份，但现在大大缩小了。

他们几十年来的账目已经消失了。 一些企业迁往中国，现在在那里经营全部业务，有效地发挥了进口商的作用。 另一些则被收购，然后再被收购，直到它们的招牌上写有跨国公司的名字，而不是当地的灯饰店，从而无法在个人一级开展业务。

加州工具与模具公司和其他许多小型制造业一样，亲眼目睹了供应链的转变，而且毫无准备。 它再也不能靠为其他当地制造商和经销商生产零部件而生存，因为前者已经离开或已经出售，后者已经让位给进口。 它不能依赖在行业杂志上的广告，因为它们即将绝版。

他们并不孤单 我们经常收到来自美国制造联盟（AAM）不满制造商的电子邮件。许多人也同意Matejka的担忧，但另一些人却面临着相反的问题:他们希望自己生产的产品有一个美国制造的部件，但却找不到一家制造它的公司。

所有这些故事都指向一件事:美国制造业正处在一个十字路口。

“我认为普通人根本不懂…… 这个国家的成功是如何建立在制造业基础上的，”Matejka说。 我相信没有制造业,这个国家将是一片空壳。

这些年来，你听到了AAM、各级民选官员、商界和劳工领袖，以及几乎所有其他人都为减缓美国制造业岗位流失提供了一些公式。

事实上，奥巴马总统昨天在北卡罗来纳州立大学宣布了45个计划中的第二个制造业中心。 这项新计划将集中于高科技制造，特别是半导体等电力电子的设计和建造。

这不可否认; 总统正在采取措施确保美国围绕未来几年最重要的技术重建制造业。 然而，许多传统制造商，如加州工具与模具公司，正在努力保持业务。 而且，尽管他们生产的产品仍然是必要的，但很少有领导人向他们提供援助或建议。

另一方面，Matejka 不耐烦。 她认为无论如何，美国消费者都应该负起责任。

她说:”我相信这真的会归结为教育美国公众。” “人们必须告诉公司他们想要这个选择，他们想要一个选择，在这里做一些事情。 所以，继续在那里创建一些东西，但也在这里创建一个版本，在这里行，在这里项。 我看过，只要人们在这里再买一样东西，我们就能增加美国的制造业。
