The only economic advantage that justifies offshore manufacturing is cheap labor. There are other equally important factors that we've been overlooking. One is the cost of transportation. Transporting raw materials to foreign shores and transporting finished goods back here where they can be marketed, are equally significant. The third factor is the cost of energy. All industry requires huge amounts of energy and we could easily offset the advantages of cheap labor with cheap energy. We have the means but lack the will. And yes, you can bet your sweet bippy that governments rich in cheap labor will do anything and everything to keep us from developing cheap energy.
BTW, I love your historical references...

CPT Jack Durish Love your cheap energy example, one just needs to look at the early days of the aluminum industry as an example.

Ocasio Cortez and Bernie Sanders are goose-stepping to the same type of crap happening up here in Canada. You are welcome!

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen all bets are off since President Trump won in 2016 and who knows what may happen next time especially if all the crazy Democrats running for president are embracing the green bad deal. That's why I'm recording to change people's minds here before next presidential election

My $1000+ Ontario power bill: Thanks, Liberals!
Ezra Levant of TheRebel.media explains why his Ontario "hydro" bill is over $1000. MORE: http://www.therebel.media/ezra_levant_october_11 http://www.Facebook...
The green New Deal was implemented in Ontario Oh, Canada and through their use of green, Renewables, shutting down a almost built 1 billion dollar gas powered Electric Plant, The Province had three times the national average for the cost of electricity. This resulted in the latest liberal, Democrat of Ontario beat by a conservative. Hopefully, he will be able to reduce electric prices but in the meantime electric bills like this are part of your future if you elect to choose the green New Deal.
