I’m just saying:
In 2013 America imported 440 billion dollars worth of goods from China.
During the same 2013, China only imported 122 billion dollars worth of goods from America.
China is not offering a balance in this “free trade” world. To heck with sending manufacturing to a massive global competitor.
Bring back American jobs.
Bring back American factories.
We need to recapture the American spirit, and rebuild our manufacturing capacity.
Build stuff here.
I agree but it’s not going to happen just by chanting “bring back American jobs”.
A lot of jobs are not coming back,, ever. That’s just the reality. Cheaper labor will always win out in the free market, and corporations will seek the cheapest labor and cheapest materials and cheapest energy and the best tax situation. And right now that is not in the USA.
Therefore, it is up to American workers to do what is necessary for themselves. A lot of this will happen naturally out of necessity. We will become more self sufficient because we will have no other choice.
Depending on big corps and/or the government (often the same thing) for your livelihood is not a sustainable long term choice. Younger generations are already figuring this out.
