“Bring back Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt. They wouldn’t put up with our jobs being shipped to slave-wage countries.”

When we dismantle our labor unions, then we might have some standing to complain about China. But, for now, if China doesn’t provide our goods, no one will - simply because the unions will NOT permit us to make them here, at a reasonable price.

It also wouldn’t hurt to dial back the government a bit when it comes to environmental laws.

That is BS. Unions do not control the right-to-work states. There will not be anyone left to buy goods and pay taxes if the economy is hollowed out by sending away the jobs. Free Traitorism, the original Liberalism, has no basis in reality. Tariffs are the are the only rational solution.
