I disagree.

A lot of those jobs were exported by people, who sold America out.

It is time to bring them back.

It is time to rebuild our own country. Stop supporting China.

I’m not saying China is an enemy, but they are definitely a potential adversary, and with four or five times America’s population, we must stop building China up.

Bring back jobs right here.

Actively. Bring jobs home.

I do agree with you in general. But I did say a lot, not all, or most.

Another consideration is the educational and skill level of our workforce. If we could bring back those all jobs over the next year, do we have a sufficiently sized workforce capable of performing those jobs?

I suggest that, for multiple reasons, the quality of our workforce has declined and is declining. An educational system that is cranking out generations of functional illiterates is a very large obstacle.

There is a large population of working age people who are now, for all practical purposes, unemployable. Regardless of potential job availability. I have a 26 yo niece that has never done anything for more than a couple of weeks at a time. She did not graduate from HS. No one in their right mind would hire her. She is representative of a large number of people in her age group.

Those negatives aside, if the jobs came back, I think that the need for qualified labor would drive the improvements necessary to upgrade the quality of labor, to some degree. But that would/will take decades & require a significant swing in the mindset of American society.

We've already followed all of your recommendations.

They're not back yet?
