Sam, I don't think what you're proposing is politically feasible, to be honest.  If our two routes are to modernize the U.S. economy, so that were producing the cutting edge of technology and green tech, and keeping our current standards of living, or bringing low-tech industry home, and lowering our standards of living, while the first is going to be harder to accomplish, the public will not stand the latter.
