——We must bring manufacturing back to the U.S..——

Why?

To make stuff no one will buy because it is too expensive? That will bankrupt companies and destroy the economy. That is a very naive view

Like it or not, we live in a world where the economy is global

Economies that don't manufacture, decline and die. Great Britain is Exhibit A.

That will bankrupt companies and destroy the economy. That is a very naive view Like it or not, we live in a world where the economy is global

Speaking of naive views ..... when you assume that currency valuations and market values and pricing are rational and not skewed by motivated actors, that prices reflect open-outcry, universally accessible markets rather than mercantilism on a politically-fueled rampage, then it's you who are naive.

Marketarian theories do not get their arms around fascistic, access-capitalistic arrangements.
