They wouldn't have a $25/hour job. This country couldn't support a manufacturing base of 19 million workers. Our industrial output is higher today with 11-12 million workers in the manufacturing sector than it was in 1977 when U.S. manufacturing peaked at around 19.5 million.

What exactly are we going to produce with a 63% increase in manufacturing capacity, and who is going to buy it?

Goods at least as cheap, and people who have jobs buy goods with their own money, as opposed to borrowed money or money transferred to them by the government.
