I’m not actually concerned with oil. We’re doing quite well in oil, I believe.

I am very concerned with American manufacturing.

That is where we are being wiped out. That is where we are simply giving away the future.

America needs to bring back American production. That is the portion of our economy which I am very concerned about.

Production.

America needs to make things. A whole lot of things.

Look in your store then next time you go shopping.

Go ahead. Look. Pick up anything anymore, in any store. In any town, in any state in America.

Coast to coast.

I will almost guarantee, the item will say:

“Made in China”.

OK, let’s talk manufacturing. What particular product do you want to slap a tariff on?

We already did that early this century with the Steel tariffs, to DISASTROUS results. It did not create jobs, it SAVED jobs that were UNCOMPETITIVE to begin with and INCREASED the cost of steel users elsewhere.

If it worked, they wouldn’t have let the law die ( which they did ).

Here’s news for you, it won;t be “Made in China” much longer. Even China is outsourcing to cheaper countries like Vietnam.
