Isn't that the case for every country? My grandfather lived in a shack. He was a farmhand. In the winter his family almost starved.

Our nation's prosperity is a very recent phenomenon.

Yep. With one difference. The US is regressing and now we want to reignite manufacturing without relying on exploitation.

My argument is that this isn't possible. Well let me rephrase that. It is possible but you need to inflict some form of pain to get it going. Tariffs is one way to do this.

I don't think the four year presidency is enough to do this. You need to do this for at least 2 decades.
