This last slowing economy was not helped by cheaper goods. More $$$ for better domestic employment may be just the ounce of prevention we can pay for now. But I agree, just tricks to take money out of one pocket and put it in another whenever you try to outsmart capitalism.
It's not the domestic employment that scares me. It is the inevitable unionizing of all of the work forces that make our products.
Never? Unless they don't mind paying huge penalties then it won't matter... Seems like every company that Trump has threatened is moving back to the US or staying in the US to manufacture their goods. Let's see how Apple plays that card....I mean that could be a million jobs here in the US if Apple starts to build their products here, unemployment rate would be almost 3.5%
