You wish people had that short a memory, but to bad for you and your bud's they don't.Well, actually, most lost jobs didn't move overseas. They "went away" because of automation.Doesn't change the marketplaceYea, the price you have to pay for not using slave labor.
We know where you would had stood in 1861.
Our labor rates are not even close. Any tariff will be passed on to consumers in higher prices
No shit. We can flood the market with cheap foreign made crap and put everyone out of jobs as we have for decades, or be more like Europe and use tariffs to protect our industries and jobs.
The US did indeed lose about 5.6m manufacturing jobs between 2000 and 2010. But according to a study by the Center for Business and Economic Research at Ball State University, 85 per cent of these jobs losses are actually attributable to technological change — largely automation — rather than international trade.
Jobs And Robots: 25 Countries Ranked On Job Loss Potential From Automation, Robotics, And AI
South Korea, Germany, and Japan are most prepared for the coming wave of automation, according to a new report by The Economist. The U.S., on the other hand, ranks ninth out of 25 countries.

Democrats have a plan to combat that which was rejected by Republicans. Democrats want to educate Americans to do complex jobs.
Republicans want to burn coal.
That's the difference between the two plans.
Bullshit, the jobs are not being automated, they are going overseas to slave like labor.
Bullshit. More than 85% of lost manufacturing jobs were lost to automation and efficiency improvement. You have no clue what you are talking about
