How do you get a US company to build here to produce a product that is no longer produced here? You can't precisely because it can never be done here as cheaply as it can is say China or Taiwan or India? The cost to the consumer would triple or worse.

People who are having a stroke make more sense than that.

Where did you get the triple idea? Made it up out of whole cloth? Why not say it would be a thousand million times more expense if Made in the USA.

You and I have danced this dance before.

You resort to trashing Reagan as if the world economy and in fact the US manufacturing base were exactly the same as now which is nonsense. His decisions were based on protecting industries that were still making product here. Trump is talking about bringing a manufacturing base back that has already left. I don't expect you to understand that because your lead example of Beretta does not help US manufacturing, it helps US labor.

If your solution is solely to have foreign companies build here then you have addressed the jobs issue somewhat but that only goes so far. Foreign gov’ts now are not simply going to let their manufacturing base leave to promote one company's profit.

Maybe read some Friedman in between voting for Trump on Drudge.
