Bring. Back. American. Production. Build stuff here. Stop selling off our own productive capacity. Stop importing everything. Make stuff here once again. Someone eventually is going to get support for this, and it will happen.
Business have a fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders. They will go to where they can get the best deal. Saying bring back American jobs is meaningless unless you provide the solution to doing that. You cannot force them to come back.
We are currently sending far, far too much “American” production to China.
Last year we imported from Chinese manufacturing, 440 billion dollars worth of goods.
During the same year, we only exported 122 billion dollars of American production back to China.

That is a trade deficit, just between two countries, of nearly 318 billion dollars, in just one year.
REPEATED, EVERY SINGLE YEAR.
America is running MASSIVE trade deficits. We are 17.6 trillion in debt. That debt clims every single day. Yet we continue to buy foreign-made goods in virtually unlimited supply.
Both parties have sold out America.
Both parties are to blame.
We need to bring back jobs, to America.
