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.

I disagree.

China is a one-party state, with over a billion in population. They are now just about a trade equal to America.

Our trade with China is (wildly) one direction.

China has closed markets wherever they can build them. China continues to glom onto ever more manufacturing, and I think it’s time we start to do the same thing.

We need to bring manufacturing back to America.

Lots, and lots, and lots of American manufacturing. Back to America.

The problem is, right now nobody in our entire country appears to be ready to stand up for American workers.

But I am. I am saying it is time, to stop off-shoring American jobs.

Bring them back.

Sending American manufacturing all around the globe has not helped America.

Bring back American manufacturing.

(currently it’s just me, apparently, on this drive to re-industrialize America)
