Not that the argument is 'untrue'
But considering that the status quo is not how things would ban out in the long run.
For starters:
If you cut outside resources, like oil, you force the industry to compensate.
Many goods could be made in the US again, automation would be key to keep the price down. (It certainly would cut some of the quagmires we had with conterminated toys and foods. Now why on earth do we have to buy petfoods from China?!)
Buying US made does not include buying - or allowing only US made. Like Pineapples and Bananas and coffee. (I actually read about a small tea plantation not far from where I am back in the days....)
And the idea of buying only domestically made goods does not automatically demand taxes and duties on imports.
To me the article just throws a bunch of arguments into one pot that do not necessarily go together.
Not wrong, just flawed thinking.
