"those responsible for current policy, and those that vote for them, want to return to those times." I bet those responsible all have big, nice houses in beautiful places where factories and mines and far far away and big coal/gas/oil companies help them to keep it this way. Those who vote for such policies are desperate (or stupid) enough to believe that this "will bring back jobs".
