The garment industry is basically already gone from this country. The jobs were always lousy jobs. Nobody ever went to school to become someone who makes mens' underwear.

If garments can be produced in other countries by workers making 50 cents a day, we can't compete with that. The protectionists would like to ban or impose huge tariffs on imported garments to make domestic production of garments economically viable. They don't mind that it would make clothes cost five times what it does today.

They want to protect those crappy jobs, no matter what.
