So? Move where jobs are, don't wallow in the rust belt (or where ever).

Ah, the "tough shit" argument. Sure to win you friends, but it won't do squat to help the economy.

I tried as a manager of a wholesale firm to sell a "made in America" line of products (over a three year period in the late 90's). No one gave a damn, wouldn't pay 5% extra for American made.

Then enjoy the current reality of a consumer driven economy filled with broke consumers.

You just want the government to provide you with a job by closing our markets, regardless of the cost to our standard of living.

lol

The facts are what they are. Free trade has not hurt manufacturing jobs on a national basis. Productivity gains (primarily) have.

This is important because tariffs and trade wars hurt the economy when we can least afford it. That was a real mistake made in the first depression.

I find it funny also, but not for the same reason. You guys beg for the government to save you, when the wealth of evidence not only indicates it does not, you won't even admit you expect the government to save you. (That's the flipside of the "tough shit" argument you attempt to dismiss so easily).
