Price a pair of shoes made in america vs an import carePeople need educations to be better able to handle the way things are now and how they're going to be. The new age of robotics is handling 100's of jobs that people used to docertainly not Love made in USA items and don't mind paying a bit more for them BUT not double or more Let repubs get educations that will enable them to get good AVAILABLE jobsObviously not from Trump's statements.
Do you want to give up on manufacturing jobs?
What is your answer?
The issue is that there are not ENOUGH good jobs available.
Encouraging individuals to improve their skills is a good competition strategy for those individuals VS OTHER JOB APPLICANTS.
But it does not increase the number of good jobs.
It is not a national policy to protect and advance the interests of the Working and Middle Classes.
Short term, education isn't the answer for a national policy, for reasons I stated above.
Long term, yes Robots are a problem. But for NOW, we should be doing better with manufacturing jobs.
We are talking the lives and livelihoods of millions of working class Americans.
Not bothering because someday the robots will do it anyways, it not a good answer.
IMO.
Those shoes were made in a Trade Environment that can be changed.
We can do better with manufacturing jobs.
