For some reason people still hold the irrational belief that even though a huge discrepancy in employment cost exists between the US and other countries that somehow the government can pass laws that keep US jobs from leaving for less expensive locations. People expect companies to not act in their own interest. It's like asking someone to shop at a store where the prices are several times what the discount store charges. If Americans were willing to work for far less, to forgo certain employment benefits that don't exist in other countries, they could keep the manufacturing jobs here, it's as simple as that.
