President-elect Trump has said he will bring back our manufacturing jobs from China and Mexico. When does that happen and how many is he going to bring back?

We will have a better idea of the direction that promise takes next year and beyond. He's not president yet.

You mean when Trump replaces humans with robots. There's too much automation in manufacturing today. We need to go back to the days when you had a human installing the windshield, another human installing the steering wheel, another human wiping off the windshield, etc. That's millions of jobs right there!

Sadly, this is true. I am wondering how Trump plans to force private businesses to do what he wants them to do. The main reason things are made in china and then imported back in the USA is because its cheaper. Now when things are going to made in the USA again people are going to ***** and whine about it being too expensive. Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of jobs coming back to America and tariffs being raised, but I hope it doesn't mean retarded high priced goods.

How about slapping on tariffs on countries that do not conform to US environmental standards?

Any lefty environmentalists interested? Ya know, not having the third world poor live in industrial waste while not shutting down our industry because we cannot compete in the smog competition.


Oh environmentalists.....where are you? Are are you just a bunch of Marxist phonies?


Big labor and the environment. Hello?
