So many brainwashed people on this forum it is so scary. But they can shoot their gun, so all is good.
Yep! Picture Old Navy with $150 jeans. It's going to be great.

They make guns in America, and they sell quite well. So I'm confident that Americans will find a way to manufacture the many other items that Americans demand. And since we will have home field and economies of scale advantage again, we will be able to manufacture those goods at a fair, reasonable and affordable cost. Unlike heath insurance in this country. Another big failure for team Obama, and the globalist losers.

Try 40-50 bucks. And since Americans will have good paying jobs again, they won't mind paying more for a higher quality pair of jeans, especially if it means getting people off welfare and into a job. Cheaper in the long run, and teaches people real skills.

Conservatives are and have been obstructing the Democrats for a long time. This is unconscionable how they can call themselves patriots when they are traitors. They want and have been trying to get our country and President to fail. They disrespect the office of President constantly. I don't know why Conservatives think they have all the answers considering the failure of their last President. (GW Bush) Republicans are willing to shut down the government because of the deficit but when their guy is in office they can't spend the money fast enough.
Now, with Republicans the majority we have to watch them from stealing our Medicare and Social Security. Not to mention screwing the environment up with all of these climate deniers Trump has appointed. I guess we are in Trickle down mode again. This will be a long 4 years.

Wonder how long it will take to dig us out of this hole this group will leave us in.

My friends warned me not to vote for Clinton, that we'd end up with an administration stacked with Wall Street billionaires and big business grifters.

Did I listen? Nope.

Voted for her Clinton anyway.

Turns out my friends were right.

When educational standards on this planet are revised, let's hope we include logic and reasoning as well as economics in the curriculum.

The one where America doesn't have to be a global loser, thanks to socialist parasites.

Shirts are more than that now and those are made in China where the workers are lucky to make a dollar an hour. Americans are probably going to want a LOT more than that so those shirts are going to be at least four times as much. When people are struggling to pay $150 for a pair of jeans, Old Navy can tell them that's the new low low price.

You do realize that before we started importing everything, Americans were able to afford American made shirts, right?

Not in the volume they buy them now. The new model will be to pay more for less and that's reality.
