> why this is a bad thing because we don't have industry sitting idle ready to go. do you think we have massive fabric factories ready to go and then clothing manufacturing? investors willing to spend millions and millions to build it? even then stuff like a zipper might still need to be imported and that get a tariff too.  and while i highly doubt you will bother to go do this but go look up some of the economists breaking downs of the past tariff issues. you end up with issues that mimic the whole 80k per a homeless sort of issue.  where even if you do move some percentage of a given industry back into the usa the job it brings might be a few 1000 at most. yet being it's not 100% and at a lower cost the over all cost to the usa consumer for just that one item can easily hit billions more in cost. all for 1000 jobs?  there is a reason nobody does tariffs on a broad scale. nobody.
