Do you understand how many people have been laid off because of outsourcing? The whole point of tariffs is to bring back jobs for the long term.

Giving up on the deficit makes no sense. A growing economy can afford to run a deficit, but the amount spent has to be worth the investment.

Those jobs won’t come back if Americans won’t work them. You think people here want to make $7 an hour working in a factory making clothes? Lmao no.

12 million Americans have manufacturing jobs. Stop letting the MSM shape your cartoonish worldview.

Stitching together shoes, clothes, accessories, etc is not a manufacturing job.

The first couple links on that list have running shoes going for $200 and basic sandals for $100 lol

Edit: I mean look at these things. Sandals are over $100 with tax/shipping and wouldn’t even ship until next Monday.
