We could be investing a lot more money in our own infrastructure such as roads, bridges, water systems, electrical grids, etc. instead of fighting silly trade wars for a manufacturing industry that is never going to buoy the economy again, at least like it did in the "Good Old Days". 

The path forward in the near future for the middle class is a new deal type of push to rebuild our infrastructure. This will provide good jobs for the next decade plus while setting us up to be more stable into the future. For some reason this always seems to be a campaign topic that gets no traction, probably because the lobbyist for public works projects are pretty limited compared to the others. 

Oh you can have them back in less than a year.

All you've got to do is legislate shut all corporate loopholes for employers with more than 70 percent of it's nonexecutive workforce over seas. Bam.
