Doing more manufacturing in the US may mean inventing more advanced robots to do it rather than hiring people.

    Boost? It'll create millions of jobs in robotics. Making us billions and billions

    If we did, nothing stops China from doing it cheaper. They're easily a generational leap ahead of America's capacity to manufacture robots on a mass scale.

    It might alleviate some of the domestic demand, but it won't guarantee we compete on a global scale.
