That's retarded. The whole point of the supply chain is that you outsource or subcontract all the cheap unskilled labor and manufacturing, so you can focus your own skilled labor pool on more productive tasks.

Think about how extremely wealthy people pay Mexicans to cook their food, do grocery shopping, mow their lawns, and clean their houses. Yes they could do all that themselves, but it would cost them too much time and lost opportunities.

Same thing applies to manufacturing and supply chains. Our economy outsources the production of Raw materials and textiles because the work is too time consuming and low paying for Americans to do it. We'd have to improve conditions and pay for those things to be viable in America which would significantly increase the cost just based on the raw materials alone. This problem is only further exacerbated down the supply chain as each company in the process needs to make a profit until the finished product hits the consumer at an exponentially more expensive rate.

Everything I own and consume is made in America except my smartphone and a couple of sweaters I rarely wear.
