Easier said then done. You need to define "ALL the jobs they sent out". And what about other industries that have shipped jobs overseas?
If GM or Ford buy an alternator from a US company that buys cases from China, diodes from the Phillipines and then assembles it in Mexico before warehousing it in Iowa, how do you track that? Do you make GM buy components that are ALL made in the US? If so, shouldn't that apply to ALL products like TV's, refrigerators, computers, shoes, shirts, jeans, etc.?
Plus, a lot of the domestic market share that the Big 3 has lost has gone to companies with plants in the US, employing US workers.
There is no doubt that overseas labor is cheaper. So if a product has ALL US labor, it will be more expensive. What will YOU buy if faced with a choice between 2 products: 1 all US made that is more expensive than 1 that is imported. Evidently, the US consumer has voted with their pocketbooks, thus accounting for our trade imbalance.
