    I notice you picked the most extreme example you could think of th argue your opinion

    Realistically that job might not return to the US

    But there is precision design and engineering needed to make the tooling and equipment for the Barbie doll that pay very high wages to skilled craftsmen

    Jobs that globslist free traders prefer to piss away to china

    I see. And non of the jobs they would displace need any of those people?
    Get over it. The vast majority of the jobs that went to China were low skill low wage jobs.

    What kind of work do you have in mind for Americans and destitute illegal aliens and phony refugees after you assign all the production jobs to china?

    We have low skill people by the millions in America that should be doing those jobs here

    that's capitalist, low skill in a high salary environment means company will ship the jobs to cheaper place. don't want that happen, force company back, of course that's not capitalist anymore, but socialism.

    In your country work may be a four letter word but in America we respect work

    Personally, I support ceasing all trade with China. Give the American companies 9 months notice to move their operations elsewhere and walk away from the whole mess.

    then don't expect to purchase anything for the rest 5 years, cause moving factories take years, to replace china manufacture take decades. meanwhile world economy will go into depression.

    really, that's your argument, whenever someone got different opinion then you, you start saying they are foreigner what a joke. you resort to this cause you know i'm right and don't have any pts to counter it.

    That's what low skill do. NM federal minimum 7.32, CO minimum 11.32, my employees come from NM, because in NM they max out at 10.00.

    In North Dakota employers are paying over min wage thanks to the fossil fuel production boom thats makes a labor shortage

    Returning manufacturing to the US will do the same thing

    Not for businesses. Nine months is plenty of time. It can't hurt the world. It can only hurt China.

    i'm pretty sure we already discuss about this sometime ago. English is my 2nd language + i'm writing on a forum, not writing an essay, so I don't check my grammar etc. also there are a lot Asian who have better writing skills than native English speaker.

    You claimed to have grown up in America

    But your English suggests otherwise

    And I detest foreigners who trash my country

    I think the task of btinging jobs back to America is much tougher than trump imagined

    40% of the country would gladly trade a recession for a trump defeat in 2020

    Remember a few years ago when fracking in N. Dakota stopped?
    Why did that happen?
    Lets make it multiple choice.
    a. not enough people to frack
    b. fracking was more expensive than Mid-East oil.
    c. Workers were tired.
