Actually, if this goes well, there will be more jobs in America due to them needing people to build the things.

And things should essentially get cheaper due to lower shipping costs.

So say something costs $5000 for across the sea right?

Half that and things will be cheaper.

That's just an example.

Our jobs are already scattered over almost every other country LOL, so why not the middle east too (sarcasm)? And not every middle eastern person is a terrorist just so you know.

No, your lying to me. STOP IT!

Even if Americans needed jobs due to the economic crisis, and that it'd be better for the national situation and debt...

It'd still be cheaper to hire minorities, because they take a lower minimum wage. Corporates like short-term profits better.

o_o you're against more jobs for Americans and Canadians which would help lower unemployment and poverty and in the long run will do good for the national debt that is in the trillions? :what:

Actually, if you Americans started manufacturing things for yourselves, you'd get into even deeper debt. I'm sure in America, there are far more rights for labourers, and as a result, general commodities would go up. Without poverty, there are no riches. In other words, cheap labour means lower costs, and in the long run, better economy.

More manufacturing = More jobs
More jobs = More money
More money = Less debt

Transitive property, More manufacturing = Less debt
