And we haven't even addressed the whole reason manufacturing left in the first place. It's so much cheaper to do it overseas, even accounting for shipping. It will cost America much more to produce items internally--and who is going to buy these extra-expensive items? America is a service economy and most people are working at Walmart or McDonald's. These people can barely afford the cheap Chinese version, much less the expensive American version.
So I guess they're hoping wages will increase more than the extra expensive incurred by making our own items? Not going to happen, not in a million years.
But they're not going to increase wages to account for us having to spend 55 dollars on something that used to cost 5. So the end result is just that people end up with less overall. I'm cool with limiting consumerism, but this isn't the way to do it imo. And it's not going to make us "richer" as a nation.
