Pizza parlors don't compete on a global market. Manufacturers do.

as you just illustrated, manufacturing doesn't create a whole lot of jobs per million$ invested. so why give cuts to sectors that don't create a ton of jobs?
you have a million dollar machine that puts 2 people to work, yet someone could invest a million into a pizza parlor chain that gives 50+ people work.... one makes a lot more sense in achieving our current goals then the other.
they should give cuts to sectors that have the easiest path to job creation, manufacturing isn't one of those. if they want to help manufacturing, they should increase tariffs on imported goods, thus making it more cost effective to manufacture inside our own borders.
