>id imagine that the majority of the chinese products that we buy can be made here if we deregulate and rewrite laws that have been designed to make manufacturing in america expensive

why is it more expensive to manufacture here while its cheaper to manufacture in china?

we need to ask ourselves why the chinese economy was allowed to be propped up when there were places in america we could have propped up too. in the 50s and 60s when america's infrastructure was already pretty much in place and our country's economy was roaring, china was a bunch of disparate villagers being killed by communists so that they could be corralled into line and controlled by a government that they fear.

don't think america can compete with a huge slave economy. we already have workers righs and high wages. there they can force little kids to make nikes for 16 hours a day paying them just enough to buy some dead rats for dinner.

> "muh we can make everything china can"

the US can totally manufacture almost anything. we have always had the infrastructure and the resources. the US didn't become the worlds #1 economy for nothing.

the country has been fucked by weird laws and regulations designed to siphon off american wealth to other countries and to allow the chinese prosper, they've gotten the best deal out of anyone in all of this.
