I said it before and I say it again. Bring it all back; between Mexico the US and Canada we can manufacture everything we need right here. So what if we have to pay more. We would never be put in this situation again.
Never let it be forgotten that it was the Goremons leading the charge to de-industrialize the west.

I have to agree, sadly we are paying the price.

Think of this!!!! If we ever were in an armed combat--war-- with china, when they cut off all shipments of everything--they willbring us to our knees. Without ever fireing a single shot. Face it folks--China owns us. WE had better start making our own stuff. Our lives depend upon it. Blame it on previous presidents as well as trump. But Trump is the first president to even began a fair trade deal with China. Obama, Bush, Clinton allowed China to be able to control our economy. It's our fault. China took advantage of our stupidity and our greed.

Go for cheap labor/manufacturing costs. Save big bucks.
People can't see past the $.
What else is in that basket?
The biggest issues were the warped U.S. corporate tax laws and the lax regulations....the actual direct cost of labor was lower but many US corporations found that much of that savings was eaten up by inefficiencies, etc.
Dilly...Dilly! I've been doing that since I retired 2 years ago....(Been collecting hard to find bourbon)...now up to 30 bottles of "top shelf American spirits!" CHEERS!
We may be more reliant on many other countries than any of us wish we were. I am still at a loss as to why China is the bad guy when it comes to this situation. If we ever go to war with China their manufacturing will most likely and quickly be destroyed. Has anyone stopped to find out ACTUAL percentages of Pharmaceuticals are manufactured in China. I usually don’t see that anywhere on the bottles I have. Even when in Latin American countries most of the drugs I spot in their stores are American and Canadian. Know the conspiracy theories out there are almost always wrong, maybe someone can research this and come up with more accurate numbers, probably less than the 80-97% “statistics” I see irresponsibly tossed around on this forum. Me, I am going to play Tennis this afternoon and will not bother to waste further time on this ridiculous conspiracy issue.
Stop shopping at Walmart if you are so horrified that other countries are able to sell cheaper. You wanna live the way they do, you can bring our product prices way down. There is a world economy now. There is nothing any of us can do to change that. It is a fact. As Mnuchin said “...get over it.” Work harder, save more, eat and drink less, exercise, and analyze the bull-crap you hear before repeating it and expanding upon it.

Bourbon will get you through times with no money better than money will get you through times with no bourbon.
