Boost? It'll create millions of jobs in robotics. Making us billions and billions
If we did, nothing stops China from doing it cheaper. They're easily a generational leap ahead of America's capacity to manufacture robots on a mass scale.
It might alleviate some of the domestic demand, but it won't guarantee we compete on a global scale.
