Easy to describe, but politically difficult to do.
Make it worth the while of investors to create industry in THIS NATION.
How you gonna do that? I think we need some laws that say x amount of certain products need to be manufactured in the US.
So for example, Ford cars must be 70% manufactured inside the country.
Every country does it, and it works.
Or WE produce wind turbines and sell them to the rest of the world. But we'll probably outsource that to Mexico too.
Totally free markets means companies will go to the cheapest countries. And they will pit poor country agaisnt poor country. If the labor organizes, the company will leave. This is great for corporations, bad for the middle class.
There is a reason America was the best country in the world. It wasn't because we had the richest people in the world living here. It was because we had such a huge strong middle class.
We take it as a given that the middle class will always be here, or that America will always be number one. Maybe Canada or Australia will one day be better for middle class people. If they decide to start manufacturing and they become the largest creditor instead of largest debtor, blabla.
