We need to start a push to get all this stuff manufactured here.
"For America, we have the capability and the capacity to produce most of our own goods and services. The problem is, years ago, nations like China, Taiwan, Thailand, and Japan started producing more and more products at a far lower cost and in many cases with higher quality. This drove US-based businesses to send their production or fulfillment to these countries. These decisions cost American jobs and, over time, these cheap companies crept prices up as Americans got further and further away from self-sustainment.
Now in 2022, we find ourselves in a massive trade deficit. Simply put, we are taking in much more than we are putting out. Now, there are numerous metrics to look at here, but with a good deficit of $99 billion in November and imports exceeding exports to the sum of $80.2 billion in November, we have a huge problem going on. This isn’t a simple problem either. With the backlog of ships waiting off the coasts and the Omicron edition of COVID, numbers are expected to be high when the numbers from December and January come in."
