The bigger question, should American companies that make stuff (anything) out of the country be prohibited from importing it back into this country? Would that drive the companies themselves out? would that artificially drive up the cost because of higher labor costs? It certainly would put more people to work, more demand, but that would drive up the price of labor too.
We now run a $342 Billion dollar / year trade deficit with China.
$342 Billion dollars.
And that is GROWING STILL.
Enough.
America needs to be for America once again.
“It certainly would put more people to work,”
People having jobs is the main thing. The rest is just details that can be worked out.
