So imports become insanely expensive. Will this bring jobs back?

It would except basic staples our owned by multinationals who will sell to the highest bidder.

Take food, for example. Back in the '50s, there were tons of small farmers. Now, big agribusiness owns most of the land and they will sell to the highest bidder (if you think they are ruthless).

If that happens, America becomes more of a wasteland than anything else with the few jobs in existence being those that outsource our resources.

I'm certainly not predicting that will happen, but you can see the danger in letting big business marry big government. Nothing can be taken off the table completely.

That’s what I was telling someone yesterday. After WW2, there was a lot of private farms that could grow enough to feed the nation or their own families. Now with agribusiness, we are at their mercy. Especially with these sterile seeds they sell now.
