I can say with certainty that where we are now is unacceptable. Massive trade deficits, factories shuttered and good jobs gone. All facts,
Manufacturing productivity at record highs, and finding upwards, despite fewer jobs. Fact.

Manufacturing jobs being increasingly replaced by technology (see above fact). Fact.

Increasing costs on the producers usually increased costs on the consumers, regardless of their employment. Fact.

But hey focus on jobs in a job-dying industry, while likely increasing the cost on the consumers, and if that 5 million jobs continue to go unfilled. Really shows that you care about jobs.

This is a classic case of government thinking it knows what's best for the economy and being 50 years behind the cutting edge.

Trump is clueless on this. I don't understand this fascination with wanting to regress the manufacturing industry and the jobs market to the 1950s.
