If the US is willing to import many more low-skilled workers, then I would agree it's a great idea. Absent that, with a 4% unemployment, then the pigeon hole principle makes it difficult. Open to proposals about how it could be done without significant downside.

- palmotea 1y ago> Open to proposals about how it could be done without significant downside. That's a policy straitjacket: a demand that strategic and necessary things can be done only if there's no downside for some privileged group. If the US doesn't want to be a weak-ass paper tiger, it needs the capability to mass-produce consumer electronics (a civilian capability that can be redirected for military purposes, if needed). That will likely require trade offs. Let's employ fewer people in the sandwich-assembly industry and more people assembling electronics.
