Restoring manufacturing is vital to the future of this country, preferably non-predatory eco-manufacturing such as first-rate recycled steel, etc.
But to be restored, manufacturing has to become an attractive career for bright young and older people to pursue.
And if any restored manufacturing is to be retained we have to restore our traditional (traditionally Conservative and Republican) National Tariff (import tax).

Reagan imposed some very specifically targeted import taxes that not only helped American manufacturers but also brought foreign manufacturers into the country.

Tariffs? Ever heard of Smoot-Hawley? I think not. How’s about cutting union power and reducing government regulation? Oh yeah, and repeal Sarbannes-Oxley.
