Our manufacturing base is quite large still. In fact it is larger than China’s even now. One step further, China’s is really there to sell to the U.S. so there is a lot to think about. America has an excellent base to grow out of anything but this is assuming we can get the Marxist out of the White House first.
The U.S. is in debt and debt is growing by 4 billion per day. Is that manufacturing prosperity? Hell no. China is lending the U.S. trillions. The U.S. will collapse soon unless we bring back manufacturing jobs and that means banning imports from China and other countries.
What you say about the U.S. having more manufacturing than China is another media lie.
The U.S. has only 11 million workers in “manufacturing” as the gov defines it. In reality probably less. And those jobs are disappearing fast hence the U.S. decline.
This “base” will soon erode as most countries including China are ripping the U.S. off.
China has more than 100 million workers in manufacturing.
A company can pay a worker in China 1/20 what they pay an American worker. So that's unfair and so we have to ban almost all China products and those of other countries soon or we won't have any manufacturing nor any jobs left at all soon.
