The reason they push free trade on us is to keep inflation from going through the roof.

If everything were made in America again, no one using today’s dollars could afford to buy anything made in America.

Just look at the goods and services still produced in America—the cost of all have skyrocketed: healthcare, real estate, insurance, education, transportation, etc.

I not saying that ending Free Trade would be a panacea but with jobs and money coming in we would have the means to solve those other problems. With jobs and money we could afford those higher prices. Without jobs and wealth creation we are dead in the water.

That is ABSOLUTLRY NOT TRUE. Labor is just one component in manufacturing, one of the smallest too.
