He’s got to break some powerful unions, first.
My mother recently relayed a story about when my dad was working a job for $100/week back in 1967 and the apartment they were in cost about $148/month. The wages work out to about $744.54/week in 2017 dollars (or $18.61/hour) and the rent is about $1,100/month. Not only is the worth of the currency degraded, but of course so is the worth of the labor.

Today, I don’t want to put my pants on and start my truck unless I am getting 150-200 per DAY...or better
Lets just say that in 1976 I purchased a house with very little hassle (GI Bill) and not so sure what I would be able to do today (Not sure if VA will go 2nd time?? especially at my age)
Mark Levin made a great point on his radio show last night. Made in America week is great, how about health care that is Made in America - not a copy of Canada’s or Europe’s.
Demanding that producers produce at a loss is no answer. Change the laws to make domestic production profitable and the world's industries will flock to our shores again. Keep the current setup where all the politically-connected grifters get their cut first, and production will stay offshore.
Very little is made in USA ANYMORE, steralite plastic products still are.
Half our food is foreign grown or more.
