Because people, some of them Republicans, have no understanding of economics.

Something is rotten when it's more profitable to make something thousands of miles across the ocean and then schlepp it all the way over here.

Doesn't make sense that can be kept up forever.

Sooner or later it becomes too expensive (wages and other costs rise overseas and/or our starving workers will take any salary), and it will be cheaper to make it back in the USA.

So, is all the insecurity and pain worth a couple of decades of cheap stuff?

That's for the companies to decide, unless you want a centrally-planned economy. It worked great for the USSR.
