Texas has a lot of manufacturing jobs. Why? Rational laws and a pro business attiyptude and not a general fear of lifting and making heavy things. Low energy costs for cheap plentiful natural gas are a big help as well as a work force not based on the union attitude of how do we force more jobs on business through not productive work rules.

Come to Texas, set your clock back to the 50s as families can afford a home on a single income in a growing manufacturing segment.

Textile mills are coming back to the South. China's wages have gotten a lot higher and the US has a huge advantage in energy costs.

I am not an economics or business guy. So, how can we bring back manufacturing jobs? Thanks
import tariffs.
