Again, don't get me wrong, I'd LOVE to see manufacturing return. But, anyone who thinks this won't come with a price is a damned fool. Especially with the simplistic and potentially reckless proposals being tossed about.
Stuffs gonna cost more when it's not being made by slave labor in overseas sweatshops.

And I won't like it, but I realize it will be for the best.

I'm already paying $6 a dozen for organic free range chicken eggs when I can get the the ones laid by chickens that are cooped up in a cage the size of a shoebox all their lives and fed the cheapest shit there is for $2 bucks a dozen.

I also pay $5 bucks a loaf for organic bread when I can get that wonderbread crap for $2 bucks.
