No, actually there are many things these days that are no longer made in the USA. It will be a massive, massive effort to turn that around.

I work on the waterfront. My job is directly tied to inter-modal transportation (shipping containers). Last week I stood on the dock and looked across the waterway to crane operations that lift the containers off of the ships onto trucks. All of this is run by the ILWU (longshoremen). I my 30 years on the waterfront I have never seen crane operations move so slowly. It is not JUST dependence on foreign trade. We are also experiencing “work to the rule” where longshore are simply just not moving commerce at its normal pace. We are in effect committing suicide.
