Supposedly we can't manufacture our own products and take back these jobs.

"If America tried to block foreign-made products and make everything at home, prices would skyrocket and foreign countries would likely retaliate by blocking U.S. goods from their countries. 'You can't turn back the clock," Blinder says.'"

Yet China's doing it. Chinese Textile Mills Are Now Hiring in Places Where Cotton Was King

Not to mention:

Part of the problem is that it’s a too fold move. First the manufacturing goes over there, then the people get replaced by automation. Even if, as actually has been already happening, we get the manufacturing back here it won’t be done by people.

Politicians, from the county to the state to the federal government, have raced to ply Keer with grants and tax breaks to bring back manufacturing jobs once thought to be lost forever

Doh!!!!!  Beyond stupid and tratorous!
