In the State of the Union, President Obama took time to highlight Master Lock — a company that has discovered that it can actually save money by keeping production facilities in the United States and bringing jobs back to America.
Today, he traveled to Wisconsin to visit with Master Lock workers and talk about his plans to boost American manufacturing.
Master Lock's decision to keep jobs in America is part of a growing trend. The President calls it insourcing.
And in Milwaukee, he talked about three ideas to reform corporate taxes, aimed at boosting that trend and rewarding companies that don't move overseas.
