I think that Americans have seen what happens to their country at the cost of cheap goods and would be VERY WILLING to pay more for American made!! You must also realize that Americans will be making more money right now our country has become a service industry men don’t work getting their hands dirty anymore, more and more men can’t fix anything themselves anymore men in our country are becoming pansies!!!
Paying more will bother people...Trump’s people. There are also plenty of people where higher prices means they retire at 57 years old, rather than 56.5 - not exactly torture...they may not care.
The rest of what you say I TOTALLY AGREE WITH. I grew up working on cars (pretty much everything short of transmission rebuilds), doing electrical repairs, plumbing repairs, and some AC repairs - my kids can do all that, but no thanks to our education system. Americans need to be doing that work again. The people that SHOULD be doing that work, that used to do that work, now go to college for useless degrees - we need to stop funding those degrees - if they want a degree in Monocouque-Feminist Studies, or something like that, let them spend 5 years in a garage saving up their money to pay themselves for it.
Regarding the doubling of prices - we really don’t know what will happen as production is moved back here. I do think for some businesses the labor/regulatory environment in SO BAD that some prices will double if nothing is done about it - but Trump understands the same, and his people certainly do too - and there’s a ton of stuff Trump will do, even without Congress doing a thing...so we’ll never do that experiment (trade barriers only), thankfully.
