How else do you deal with the fact that China (and others) can just undercut American worker's wages? It's not like Chinese workers can fight for higher wages, so they will always be able to 'steal' American jobs. The US was in a great spot when it did all its own manufacturing. I don't see why we can't go back to that. Stop letting cheap foreign labor undercut our workers just so some asshole executives can scrape the extra profits.

What's wrong with undercutting wages? That's how free markets work. If you want to subsidize American workers that aren't good enough to compete with China, enact a higher minimum wage.  
  
 If the US did all their manufacturing today, we would basically be China instead of be the US with 7x their gdp per capita. Manufacturing may have been a decent job but now its a shit tier job.
