Are these the same experts who said we could never repatriate manufacturing jobs into the USA and that we shouldn't try?

Never read that. Read it would be difficult, and we'd have to consider the tradeoffs because America liked the cheap goods. Also read about overseas companies coming back.

Or the same bunch that said we'd run out of oil in 1996?

Never heard this ever. Did hear that we'd used up the cleaner sources.

Or the same folks who said that if we re-negotiated NAFTA that the US economy would collapse?

Never heard that. Heard we'd pay more for goods and Americans wouldn't like that. That's why the changes were minor. Biggest change - instead of International courts being used for worker disputes, Mexican courts are used now.
