That is not required. I've seen many businessmen describe exactly what they need to compete.

The U.S. can be very, very competitive. BUT...the govt. (both Federal, State, and local) needs to make it so.

As I've said before...if what you are thinking is true, then WHY did BMW build it's factory in South Carolina? Why did Volkswagen build a plant in Chattanooga Tennessee?
Surely using your logic they could have built those in China much, much cheaper right?

Wrong.

Every manufacturer wants to build the products they sell in North America in the U.S.
And when the state and local govt.'s create that environment that allows them to be profitable...that's exactly what they do.

That is what Trump is suggesting. You and I can discuss back and forth all day...but in the end the facts are that "yes" those jobs can indeed come back to the U.S.
It's already happened in the car industry...just not in overly regulated, overly taxed, overly unionized Detroit.

Apple could indeed build iphones here. Just not in California. (I don't know how anyone stays in business there...)
