Correct. Only businesses can bring back jobs, not a president. Creating conditions favorable to manufacturing businesses will cause them to bring back the jobs.
Well stated, and if interested the o/p can read the articles Boston Consulting Group has been publishing for the past for several years on “resulting” to better understand the impact of Trump’s proposals on the process.
Even China is automating manufacturing. The profits can come to the US, as can some high end jobs, but NOT the skilled labor jobs. The skilled labor jobs will not exist, for the most part.
I fully agree with your statement about business bringing jobs and government creates favorable conditions for that to happen. I’d add that the jobs will not transfer 1 for 1 because US business will have to figure out how to improve efficiencies to reduce the cost of human input to the products. It will be the only way to hold market share through competitive pricing.
