My socks are made in the USA, but I'm pretty sure my underwear is made in Vietnam. Both are made by Hanes. I wait until they're on sale and stock up. Some of my shirts are made in India. Some in Vietnam. Most, I believe, are made in China. I can't afford to buy the clothing manufactured by American companies in America. The cheapest shirt I found among a "complete" (not really) list of American-made product manufacturers was $50. I pay $8 for my teeshirts at Walmart, and $24 for my "nice" shirts on Amazon. My Skechers shorts and skorts are made in Indonesia and China, and again - I wait til I find what I like on clearance and pay around $20 each. Or, I do without.
I finally found a pair of sneakers that don't make my neuroma act up and are slip-resistant and incredibly comfortable, at a price-point I can afford once every 2 years. They're made in China.
So. Find me all of these things, made in the USA, for the same price at the same or better quality. OR, send me money so I can afford to pay the premium to buy American.

That is just proof the past policies really didn’t work and you are an example of why we shouldn’t continue to ship jobs out of the Country. Many don’t care until it is their job and finances. Just wait until AI takes hold, the number of unemployed Lawyers, Accountants, Investment Analyst, etc, will skyrocket. If your job doesn’t include some hands on activity with people (Nurses, Plumbers, Doctors, Electricians, etc.) plan on large pay reductions and finally the unemployment line.
