If we get in a trade war with another country, American exports will be reduced. Any guess as to what that would do to American jobs?
You keep thinking that force is the way to bring the jobs home. I'm telling you, it's been tried before, and has never worked. You have to figure out a way to make this country a more attractive place to do business.
The potential for greater profits is the only thing that will bring the jobs back. Figure out how to do that, and you'll have the beginnings of a solution.
The problem with your logic is, America since any previous trade issues has sent offshore a HUGE amount of what had previously been American manufacturing.
Massively, we have already torn down our own manufacturing.
That to me, is the major difference.
Previously America had always had a lot of manufacturing, and that had kept us from really playing hardball.
I think it’s time. Play hardball. Enough with this stupid de-industrialization of America.
Bring back US jobs, and manufacturing.
Now.
