You dont seem to agree.

How’s that going to help if the cost of employing someone in the USA is over 10 times that of countries like China and even worse, Bangladesh?
How much tariffs do you have to raise to make it attractive for some business to make things in America?
And if you do, how much do you think the cost of a computer, TV or Smart phone would be?
The relative costs of America vs foreign labor are moving together.
I’m just saying we need to open our eyes and start to pay attention to this.
China is massively moving forward.
Almost everything, in every store is now made there. Meaning China is making (oodles) of money, and progressing very fast.
China is a developed country.
It is a nuclear superpower, and now has sent a mission to the moon.
We have to change our view, and also our way of behavior toward China.
At some point they start to become a threat.
I’m not saying they are yet. But their momentum is quite remarkable.
They will be before we are ready to even start considering what that means.
America needs jobs.
Bring back American jobs.
Now.
