Nonsense. Donald Trump can't do anything before January 20. That is in the Constitution. He is just getting ready for work.

Where's the original source claiming this versus a clickbait article?

It's over 20 years old. It should be revisited and changed as required.

The question is, are US consumers willing to pay more for things in order to protect other people's jobs in the United States?
It's really that simple. The reason jobs go overseas is because it costs less to produce things in certain other countries. So bringing those jobs back means we will pay more for certain things.

Digging a bit deeper, the economy really does need a major correction.

Quote:The question is, are US consumers willing to pay more for things in order to protect other people's jobs in the United States?Everyone has a breaking point. I am fine with paying more if it means jobs coming back. The problem I have is maybe the factories come back but will the jobs? Most of those jobs that were lost, I'd wager are either currently or one their way to being automated.

In simple theory, the additional cost is offset (at least partially) by the increased number of jobs.

The reason jobs are moved out of America has always been pro-business. Companies want to spend a little as possible in every way they can. That is pretty easy to do in countries that don't have the same quality standards.

But that's like redistribution of wealth. You pay more for things so other people can have jobs. It's like paying a tax and giving the money to someone other than yourself.

You're exactly right. It is a redistribution of wealth, but the money redistributed stays within the US. The worker has a job, so is no longer collecting unemployment, a portion of which, I was already paying for in tax dollars. The government taxes me less, therefore my disposable income rises. Now, the worker has also disposable income, which he or she will can use to buy other goods and services, once again redistributing the wealth.
The underlying problem with our economy is that the wealth is flowing out of the country, primarily to China. The low-priced goods we import come with a huge indirect tax, the loss of manufacturing jobs in the US.
