Well, companies would use US labor for cheap products if it was economically viable to do so but its not... You cant pay someone 30 bucks an hour to make a cheap product... No one is going to spend 14 bucks on a package of 100 pens...

I would pay 10 bucks for pens if it meant saving the economy.

What we need to do is put a tariff on foreign products, which would make everything more expensive, but at least we could compete again.
