That's not a viable solution. First of all, the raw materials for many things cannot be sourced all in the US and it's not cost effective to import these raw materials here and then find people to work for minimum wage to produce the item at a competitive price. Factories here won't operate at a loss just to be patriotic.
It's simply cheaper and more efficient to have many things produced offshore. Otherwise, the price of almost EVERYTHING will go up. That will really put our grandchildren in a bad position with everything costing more and wages not going up at all.
