As long as wage is 2 dollars an hour in Bangla Desh, you are not going to make clothing and shoes here.

Even a slightly more complicated thing, like binoculars, wages are still low. Leupold makes binoculars and rifle scopes here by just assembling the Chinese parts here. Stick on made in USA label. Lots of hunters fall for that.

Set import tariff in part based on equalized labor wages.
So if china pays $2 an hour in wages and item takes 1 labor hour to make, tariff is $13.

Face it, for consumer products, we are only competitive with storing, distributing and making the web page. Not the actual manufacture.

The US could not create the infrastructure or provide the people with the relevant skill sets to move the means of production from China to the US. One contractor alone, manufacturing the hardware for Apple, employs 150,000 people in China for the contracts. One of its factories has a workforce of 60,000. Where in the US would you locate it? 60,000 is more than Detroit employs in what is left of the local car industry.

And how would you pay them, even at current depressed US wages? And how much would the goods produced be?

I know Macs are currently expensive, but a $ 40,000 MacBook would be a bit rich, even for me... :tea:

An article, the link to which I cannot now find, looked at some popular consumer items like jeans, shoes and computer gear and came up with the conclusion that prices will double.

No surprise, really, unless you expect US workers to keep their noses to the grind stone for 12 or 14 hours a day six days a week at a rate of $2.30 an hour. I don't think they'd like the reduced or non-existent holidays, sick pay, injury compensation, health insurance or superannuation either.

Fuck science, it's all about the Constitution, states and their "way of life" that was threatened by lefties.
Mr. Pruitt’s first job will be restoring respect for the Constitution and cooperative federalism in EPA rule-making. He knows how to do this because he led the legal charge by the states against EPA abuses, including the victory of a Supreme Court stay on the Clean Power Plan as it moves through the appellate courts. If he is confirmed by the Senate, Mr. Pruitt could order the EPA’s lawyers to inform the courts that the agency no longer stands by the legal interpretation behind the Clean Power Plan.

Good way to tank your economy as fast as possible.
