unless its a merchandise that absolutely cannot be made in the USA at all, and also with exemptions for tradition historical imports like things that we used to import in the country say 30 years ago and earlier...like certain cars for example,or wines, and oil etc... But the crap that used to be made in the USA 30 years or so ago that factories were closed so that they could be made in other countries with slave laboring wage earners are the goods that would be the target of this law. I want to know what you think would happen here in the USA as a result of that law.

Foreign trade would come to a halt as goods from the US would be boycotted and then the companies making the goods in the US would have to lay off employees because no one will buy. It is the wrong answer to a problem. The answer is to leave trade alone and start building US goods smarter and cheaper.

The cost of everything would skyrocket. (americans tend to get paid more that the people making imports.Aside from that, lots of job openings at the begining (for jobs that most people dont want to do!)Then many stores would lose profits because the prices to buy are so high, their employees would have lay-offs or salary freezes. Everyone would be able to have a job, but everyone would be alot poorer.Noone would outside the USA would buy ANYTHING made american, or want to have american companies in their countries.

They would have to make Pittsburgh Pa the steel center of the world again(not that we don't make steel here but a lot more) i would love to see this then not only would we as Americans have more blue collar jobs but the quality of an American product is always so much better then anything any other country can produce
