we get cheaper goods that's for sure in both price and quality. Most consumers that's all they care about. Our manufacturing base has dropped over that last 40 years. I don't think NAFTA is that big of an issue compared to what China and others have been doing with cheap in some cases subsidised labor.

The price of goods would go up putting protectionist policies in place but jobs should also increase in turn people should be making more money.

Bring back mercantilism

Would we be better off paying more money for domestic made goods instead of trying to get the cheapest deals on everything?
In the long run could this help the country grow?

I know this is never going to happen because people we always want the best deal, but what would happen if we shut down trades from places like China and went back to American Made.
