Last night, Alliance for American Manufacturing (AAM) Executive Director Scott Paul appeared on MSNBC’s The Ed Show to discuss the outsourcing of American manufacturing and Donald Trump’s plans to bring jobs back to the U.S.:

“[Trump] is talking about the right issues because jobs are still on the top of the minds of the American people. The deficit matters, but the deficit that matters most to the American people is the jobs deficit, so I’m glad Trump is talking about it.”

 

“I do think we can bring these jobs back. They’re not going to come back on their own. It’s going to take a strategy, and that’s what we lack right now, and both Democrats and Republicans have come up short…I think the American people are hungry for concrete ideas on trade, tax, investements and skills policies.”

And Ed Shultz agreed:

“This is THE issue. You can talk job creation, but if we’re not making stuff again in this country, I don’t believe that our economy is going to turn around, and we are going to be stuck in this cycle know and the ‘new normal’.
