That would only cause more problems with the economy. First, we should identify all the goods made in America and determine if there is anything left to buy that is made here. If there is, we should put our money where our mouth is and buy all of those goods we can. As more American goods are purchased Walmart will shrink in response but they will have been replaced by other businesses. Second, if we had National Health Insurance small businesses could treat employees fairly. The increase in demand for American made products will act as an incentive for more companies to produce in America. Imagine if there were enough products made in America that you could open a store named AmericaMart where everything sold there is made in this country. Would you shop there exclusively? Would the increased demand for locally made products make them cheaper? I think it could work for one reason. It costs a lot of money to transport goods from across the ocean; fuel, labor, boats, docks etc. That offset should make more locally produced products competitive.
