Most won’t pay for an American made shirt.

Triple (at least) the cost.

The only thing keeping inflation down is that we have exported our labor to slave economies and expanded credit to the moon.

I want to move the jobs back, but you have to be honest about the costs. Short term, our standard of living will take a huge hit when most can no longer afford the crap they buy now.

Just saying...

I used to be pro-free markets.

China is abusing “free” markets. We need to climb off that pedestal and bring back US jobs.

It will be arduous, but it beats military defeat.

Which is how this is starting to play out.

Bring back American jobs. Now.

We had another thread and did a cost analysis, a $14 shirt made in China would cost $16 man in the USA. More, but not a lot more.

Shirts come from Indonesia, Vietnam and Latin America. We can only do business with those retailers who avoid China; this means staying away from Hobby Lobby and KMart, and not buying GM cars. Ever.
