"The larger problem for Trump and his supporters is that there is very little reason to think that any set of policies could meaningfully reverse the long-term decline in U.S. manufacturing jobs. That decline has been driven by a combination of globalization and automation"<p>Those jobs are gone forever. We are now a global economy and trying to bring those jobs back will be a race to the bottom.<p>Trump has proposed a lower tax burden on small business owners. This will make it easier to start a company and give many businesses a way to hire more employees.<p>We should be concentrating on ways to bring more businesses into the US and less restrictions/lower taxes is a great start.
