Friend,
Decades ago, the United States was a global leader in manufacturing. We supplied the world with steel, cars, computers, and so much more, advancing us in immeasurable ways. Manufacturing provided millions of jobs with good pay, benefits, and union representation. But since the late 1970s, over 40 percent of these jobs have been shipped overseas in search of cheaper labor, leaving blue-collar communities in the lurch.
For America to prosper, we need to look close to home. That means bringing unionized, well-paying manufacturing jobs back to the United States, to communities ravaged by globalization. We’re already making progress by creating millions of jobs through the CHIPS Act and the Inflation Reduction Act. But we can go further, addressing inflation and the ongoing supply chain crisis by making things here at home. That includes incentivizing factory construction, investing in training opportunities and manufacturing process innovations, and pushing the federal government to use tax revenues to purchase items made in America, not China or elsewhere.
The loss of jobs in what was once a major industry has only fueled the growing divide between working-class Americans and the ultra-wealthy. If we hope to address income inequality and strengthen our economy, we need to rebuild the middle class and continue to pursue opportunities to create manufacturing jobs. We need to work towards creating a trade surplus for the first time since 1975. We need to embrace emerging political leaders who can connect with working-class voters, who listen and understand their experiences, and who have solutions for a better future. We need to embrace a new economic patriotism: making things in America again to build prosperity and wealth.
In solidarity,
Ro
