What does Thomas Sowell, “the smartest man in the universe” say about trade deficits? Or Milton Friedman, or Hayek, or any and all free market economists?

Bring back American manufacturing.

Easier said than done.

As long as American companies can keep costs down by hiring labor overseas, they will continue to do it.

That will not happen anytime soon, if ever, as it will drive up the cost of everything. It is more cost efficient to manufacture overseas to take advantage of lower costs (such as labor).

Besides, trying to open factories in America will only encourage the unions - just when we have them on the ropes.

America is doing just fine without the manufacturing jobs.

The two guys most responsible for this are Clinton and Bush. Clinton got paid big bucks. Bush was just a Chamber of Commerce guy.

The best way to put a stop to it, is to use an ancient and proven military method method of receding in certain circumstances. Many businesses, after having production facilities established in foreign countries, have participated in regulating against domestic manufacturing starts and often at local government levels.

So recede. Buy Chinese and other foreign products exclusively. I’ll guarantee you that if enough people participate, the problem will be solved quickly. The alternative would be a quicker default process. And whether or not the problem were resolved by those presently in leadership positions, production on American soil would continue in the absence of funding for enforcement against doing work on our own soil. Manufacturing revenues are required for big government.

Americans have been the only ones walked on the moon, thanks to American manufacturing.
American’s have liberated the world many times over thanks to American manufacturing.
The rest of you un-american pieces of **** on this thread can KMA.
Thanks to the Op. You sound like a broken record sometimes, but that doesn’t make it absolutely true. America first, by god.
