That is not a sustainable solution. China can do it, because they have a billion people working at slave wages, we can't afford have all the industries here and pay good wages, the cost of living for Americans are to high to maintain an industrial society. Now if you're going to force all companies to develop and manufacture their stuff in the U.S you might as well plunge the planet back into the dark ages, no other country would be willing to let all their companies be located in another country. Even the U.S doesn't allow its critical technologies and manufacturing techniques go overseas. If your solution is implemented, global trade will be reduced to almost nil, the price for just about everything would increase, and off course other countries will implement similar measure, and U.S companies will be equally restricted that means a shrinking GDP. Think before you post man.

You're a really funny guy there Mr. Compute. You apparently went to a public school where they must not have taught any modern history. I say that because you neglect to take into consideration that prior to the 1970's, virtually ALL of our goods were manufactured here in the United States. And prior to the 1970's, the economy was so rock solid that ANYONE who wanted to work could work, support a family with the mother staying at home, buy a house, and go on family vacations. That simply isn't possible anymore due to the lack of job stability (if one can find a job that is), taxes that are MUCH higher in proportion to income, the obscene cost of real estate, and the high cost of living all around. Most families (if still intact) require BOTH parents to work out of necessity. Even then, one's future can evaporate rather quickly due to the influx of foreign slave labor and the export of most of our manufacturing facilities.

We will soon be a nation of supermarket clerks, car salesmen, lawyers, doctors, and government officials. And of course there will be the rich glutons who decide the fate of scores of workers by replacing those workers with identured servants from overseas, and exporting all of our remaining manufacturing capabilities to China.
