“America needs manufacturing, right here. That will keep our economy growing, and allow us to remain powerful.”
That is a slogan.
“If we buy all of our stuff from other countries, then other countries become powerful, and we become weak, because we become broke.”
I assume you wish to change that?
“I say keep America powerful. Bring back American jobs.”
That is another slogan. They ain’t coming back unless you reverse the forces that sent them overseas.
Robotic manufacturing will not be reversed. It will intensify.
You are forgetting, as jobs are automated, the anger of those without jobs will intensify. More and more voters will be impacted, and less and less Americans will be in a situation to vote for Republicans if the GOP is outsourcing.
At some point, protectionism will become a very big topic.
I imagine within one or two election cycles. The first party to run on this topic I believe, will rule for many years.
I’m serious.
Wake up GOP. Don’t let the Dems win on this issue.
Because they will.
Eventually someone will stand up, and demand a big change. If the GOP is not leading that charge, they will be pushed to one side, when America once again wants to buy American goods.
I understand there is very big opposition to this, there is a lot of money for (some) to make on selling out America.
I’m only saying voters count in our system. America will at some point want to rebuild, and buy things made right here.
Don’t wait for democrats to be in charge of that process.
GOP stand up now, for American workers.
As long as the factory is in the good ole USA I have no problem with robotics.
