Yet we continue to blindly just send US jobs to China.

If you owned a company that made a widget and you had a choice to hire a bunch of hard working people who worked 16 hours a day for $16 a day or you could hire someone who worked 8 hours a day for $16 an hour, plus you had to pay the government $1.12 per hour for Social Security and withhold another $1.12 per hour for the worker to pay his portion of Social Security, and then you had to pay the insurance company $4.00 per hour for Workers Compensation Insurance, and you had to pay 64 cents per hour for unemployment insurance, and you had to pay environmental waste fees on the goods you produced, plus you had to submit your business to dozens of county, city, State, and Federal inspections..... where would you choose to have your widget manufactured?

The only way America can keep these jobs is to lower the wages of Americans down to slave labor wages, or raise a tariff on all imported goods so that everything we buy would cost as much or more than it would cost for the same manufacturer to make it and sell it here.

So unless you are going to propose that solution and go through with it, then you are just whistling past the graveyard.

I don’t agree with you.

America is in a (very large) crisis right now.

Millions of what used to be American jobs, are being now done by Chinese workers, and even the American owners now only hold minority positions.

China is very rapidly growing, to challenge America.

We cannot continue to pass. We have passed for over an entire generation.

Both parties have passed.

America needs to bring American jobs back.

Now.
