How much does the writer make per year?
If we pay our workers more, and prices go up, that's OK with me.
I'd rather pay more for goods and services that I want or need, if the quality products are made by USA workers.
Quality is the key, I will not pay more for inferior goods because of where they are made. Period.
“The biggest problem the United States faces trying to repatriate companies is the fact that American wages are just too high.”
This argument has been shown time and again to be false.. If you have very heavy human involvement in your manufacturing yes but the reality is that most manufacturing is not nearly as labor intensive as it used to be.. So productivity is generally higher in the US, and cost of labor generally is a smaller percentage of the products price than it was decades ago.
Biggest issue is for 40 years we let traitors ship everything overseas, so the supply chains are no longer here... This is the real thing that has to change to majorly change manufacturing.
