The offshoring and exporting of American industry is nothing new. Lots of this happened in the ‘90s, when Bill Clinton was president. Hillary should be grilled about what she and her husband did about these issues back then.
Trump is the only candidate I see pushing to bring back jobs to the USA shores!

An underlooked but MAJOR reason why Trump is doing so well.
The Average Joe has absolutely HAD it with globalist trade agreements. Trump appears the best vehicle to short-circuit them.
He wants to spend money to train people for jobs that will just be off-shored. He acknowledges that tariffs are an option but he rejects those and chooses more government spending that does nothing to stop the off-shoring.
Tariffs create government revenue not spending, even as they create the environment for jobs to return to the U.S.
And to be sure, not everyone is trainable for high tech jobs. We need some lower tech jobs for many of our unemployed.
The only way to bring jobs back is to dramatically reduce or eliminate the suffocating regulation faced by companies in the U.S. They have to cut costs somewhere.
That's a familiar whine. If you allow your skills to stagnate, you're going to be a useless resource to bid and execute technical contracts. You have to spend some of your own time and money to keep up with the technical advancements. I just spent $99 with the egghead.io site to catch up on current Javascript development tools and techniques. It's a one-year "all you can eat" access to their video tutorials. Technical publishers offer 50% off "Deal of the Day" on current books. I have over 500 PDF titles accrued. Some I need immediately. Some are purchased with future needs in mind. Allowing your skills to stagnate is the path to the unemployment line.
Might be worth a read.
