Take Biden’s $1 trillion “infrastructure” package and give it as loans to manufacturers to build factories and make stuff here in the USA.
—
It mostly a GOP package and its $1.2 trillion, which adds $250 billion to the debt; the other package is the $5.5 trillion Democrat infrastructure package (commonly and erroneously referred to as $3.5 trillion) of which only billions are earmarked for infrastructure as most think of that. That Dem package includes 31 brand spanking new taxes, and no way to pay for the thing.
If you imagine that the US can build factories like the Chinese ones, well we can ... but we would need, on average, 100,000-200,000 employees each. Name a city that has that many spare workers - ones looking for work, will actually show up, arrive on time, and stick around more than a week or month.
We will have to buy all the manufacture equipment that our CEOs and GOV sent to China. We can’t produce our own crap anymore. If all imports from China stopped today it would be panic / fires in the streets here in 3-5 days.
Americans are phenomenally resourceful. Look at what we produced during WWII. Overnight factories sprung up. We need to get our pharmaceuticals moved back ASAP, American entrepreneurs would be smart to start building now.
Yeah. Maybe we should make our own stuff again? YES WE SHOULD....
A form of a tariff. LIKE!!!
Make it here. Do it now.
If you ever made one penny off of importing form China then I hope you and yours end up impoverish beggars.
Astronomical shipping costs from China?
Good!
As far as I am concerned if there are COSCO containers in the deck we should be sinking the ships.
Kicking heroin is bad news in the short term, too.
All of them do. Pay and they will come. Imagine the economic boon to all!!!
I still believe in American ingenuity and workforce YOU DON'T.
Mass produce goods are cheap to make not matter where it is done. IT IS A MATTER OF DEGREES OF CHEAPNESS.
I call BS. What static thinking.
If we go hot over Taiwan the only good that will come of it is the end of trade with Red China. Nixon was an A$$.
I wish I had said that.
All of them do. ... I still believe in American ingenuity and workforce YOU DON’T.

No US city has 200,000 **extra** workers. Have you been paying attention? Its hard enough for employers to find ANY one willing to work, let alone fill existing jobs.
I never said what I believe or don’t. Please stop trolling.
We'll continue to buy goods from them as long as they're cheaper than ours.
We'll also continue to blame China for our problems at the same time we beg them to sell us more.
It would be hard to find a better example of the inexorable power of (perceived) economic self interest.
You pulled 200,000 out of your butt.
Listen you ignorant fool, if you want to sell anything and feed your family in this country you won’t do it selling only American-made goods. Don’t blame it on me, blame it on the government people have been voting for, for the last sixty years I suggest you quit using anything made outside the United States and see how long you live.
I’ve been selling for 45 years and the availability of American-made goods has dropped off the cliff. And yet somehow the need to pay my rent and feed my family hasn’t.
Anyone that thinks the economic ties to China have been nothing but a disaster is an idiot and fool. Make it here, do it now.
