Let's approach it from the other direction: why should we? What are we getting by trying to "bring it back"?

High paying factory jobs that will allow an individual to purchase a home and start a family!

    How much do you have to raise the prices of manufactured goods to get there?

    People were going bananas about 10% inflation and the price of eggs before the election. They're not ready to 2X all consumer goods prices.

    Factory jobs aren’t high paying and even if you brought all manufacturing home it would barely impact manufacturing employment.

    Automation is what took the jobs away.

    To fix housing all you need to do is build more homes. America has plenty of land for that.
