Do we know which sectors those 300k jobs would be in? I get that 300k jobs is a positive but if the bulk are of the middle-management, white-collar variety, then it doesn't do much to help the working class.
There's also the whole national security aspect of trying to repatriate as many manufacturing jobs and reducing trade deficits.
