I'm really kind of appalled at your thinking.Because everyone you know that got laid off has found a job that means everyone can?We're at record number unemployed right now.Your thinking would be fine in normal times but this is an economic crisis of huge proportions.Take a look outside your bubble.


We can't compete in factory work on commodity type items anymore.Any country barely out of poverty can kill us because they don't do the safety\environmental requirements we do which adds cost and they don't have to pay shit.Crying about it is a waste of time.If you want to raise tariffs get ready to pay $15K for that TV you paid 2K for last week.

I'm in construction sales.I don't buy things I rep them.All of them are american and all of them manufacture a portion of what they make here except one who is 100% american made.Most have the components made in mexico or china cheaper than they could do and they put them together in the states.This buy american rally cry is crap.We've all been pretending we are buying american when only a certain % has to be made here to qualify as american made.

We can't pretend like we can make TV's and furniture cheaper.Thats why there is 4 billion in job training in the package which you have a problem with.People need computer skills to make it today and if you can't even afford one you are screwed.

Thats fine. So us sending our factories overseas created jobs for them?
