We would also see crazy inflation on that basket of WalMart Amazon items. While I don’t mind if they both went under, that alone would turn people on potus.
I don't think that is necessarily the case, particularly now that the tariffs have been in place. The items I buy are not particularly labor intensive, what they do require is expensive machinery and a local supply chain to produce.
I think it could be produced here, if the infrastructure existed, for the same price if not less once tariffs and shipping is taken into the equation. The problem is right now, the infrastructure does not exist here.
A lot of countries do a lot to support their manufacturers, China does it to the extreme with subsidies and currency manipulation, but South Korea and India have programs that help their manufacturers within the constraints of fair trade laws.
If the U.S> wants to be serious about bringing back manufacturing, the government needs to step up. Small business owners can't compete against foreign governments on their own
