Quote:The manufacturing itself wouldn't be cheaper, the cost to manufacture domestically would be cheaper than the cost to import from slave wage areas of the world thanks to tariffs.

 

As for the rest of your post, you've yet to actually economically illustrate why I'm wrong, you're just rattling off talking points.

 

you're saying the reality that manufacturing is an industry that is being replaced by robotics is a talking point?

 

You act as if the USA imposing heavy tariffs (it would take EXTREME tariffs to level the cost of manufacturing) against imports wouldn't have an effect on our exports. We are just as dependent on exporting to the world as we are on importing from the world. What you're suggesting is economic isolationism. It's a system that would limit the national GDP at a time when we owe more than ever.

 

The idea is bad on so many levels it's dangerous.
