Maybe if wages actually rose with productivity, Americans could actually afford goods made within the United States.
wouldn't higher wages make stuff cost more? I'm kinda confused
In a "frictionless vacuum", yes. Real world economics is much more complex however and higher wages = higher product prices doesn't quite hold true. Read productivity-pay gap.
