Americans have spent the better part of 30 years filling their homes to the rafters with foreign made products.
We look silly and hypocritical sitting around lamenting “outsourcing”.
Also, our hyper-comsumption (based largely on debt) economic model was never sustainable in the long run. We are now seeing the results of putting all our eggs in one unsustainable economic basket.
Again, we look pretty silly whining and complaining now while steadfastly clining to a model that CAN NOT BE SUSTAINED.
We have always imported goods.
From the 1770s to now.
This is nothing new.
