To do that, you would have to pay the people who work in those manufacturing companies the equivalent of what they pay a chinese or mexican - somewhere between $2 a day to $5 an hour. Highly unlikely that will ever happen. If we had to pay manufacturing jobs a decent wage, Wallmart would not have the lowest price, instead something that costs 3.99 would have to cost 29.99. However, it's not necessary a bad thing. This means that the **** jobs are in developing countries, while people in first world countries can do jobs that take more skill (hence learn, go to school, do a degree or a trade) and get paid adequately. As far as essential services such as garbage pickup are concerned, those jobs cannot be exported so the garbage guy has to make $20 an hour. Why would you want to work a manufacturing job anyway???

It would take a leap back in time to when we had to do our own dirty work and transportation costs were higher than the savings from paying other people to do it.
It's better now.

You cannot go back.
