Why outsourced to China is robots? We could just as easily make her own robots.

there is a larger strategic issue to consider. If they decrease the number of human managers, the risk of catastrophic failure in these facilities will only increase. Moreover, an explosion, large scale accident or anything like that will not be easy to replace with another set of robots. I will bet that if you had two factories, one with a nominal amount of automation and lots of workers versus one almost totally automated, if both had the same accident, the less automated factory would be back to full production in far less time. Humans are still more adaptable than robots.

Exactly!!!
Low cost manufacturing could easily be brought into the USA by using robots.
Plus, jobs open up for Robot maintenance techs and design engineers.

The GOP-e would know this if any of them had a clue about High Tech.
