Turns out 2014 trade with China so far, is just as big as disaster as 2013 was
US Census ^ | 9/28/2014 | (original post)

People we are sleeping in America.

Every single month now, we buy 30 or 40 billion dollars more from China, than we sell to China.

This year, is every bit the disaster, that it was last year. And the year before.

Except it is worse, because we CONTINUE TO INCREASE OUR DEBT.

Just saying. Bring back American businesses, and bring back American JOBS.

Jobs.

Yes, lets buy back all the American Brands we sold! We may have to borrow some money from China to do it.

I've said it many times...for many,*many* reasons the biggest mistake that the world's industrialized nations have made in the last 30 years was opening their markets to Chinese made cr@p,thus allowing China to become an economic power.

As has been explained to you countless times, line 2 has nothing to do with line 4. But if you wish to make a monument to economic ignorance . . . .

I’m not against trade with China, if it were balanced.

Our trade with China is so out of balance, it might not even be considered to be “trade”.

It is a massive sell out of America by a small group, who is making a ton on the sell-out.

Enough. Just plain enough.

Bring back American jobs, to America.

“Bring back American jobs, to America.”

You cannot bring jobs, especially manufacturing jobs, back to America until you begin to address why they left in the first place. And it goes FAR beyond just wages.

Yes we can bring back American jobs, and we must.

For one entire generation America’s once-mighty manufacturing base has been STRIPPED right out of the country.

Enough destruction.

Bring it back. Bring it back now, or close our borders to imports from countries which do not buy our products, and start over and make our own.

Bring back American manufacturing.

Bring back American jobs.

1. The national debt is because of government spending, not the Chinese. The British or Canadians could buy the debt and we would still have the same problem.

2. Virtually no one wants U.S debt. It’s toxic. Instead of the ChiComs buying, it’s the Federal Reserve and European central banks doing it by digitally printing more fiat currency.

3. Chinese goods have been cheap because the ChiCom government!ent has in essence subsidized the goods through artificially low wages and willingness to become an environmental cesspool. Take a couple breaths of Beijing air, a city where billboard screens will sometimes show a sunrise because the smog is too thick to see the real one.

4. The biggest impediment to American jobs isn’t the Chinese. Taxation, regulation, and litigation make the U.S. a very expensive place to do business these days. Each is a government issue that has nothing to do with the ChiComs.

I completely disagree.

It is time to rebuild America.

Right. Now.

“Bring it back. Bring it back now”

Easy to say, but utterly meaningless without the actions required to offset why they left, AND ARE STILL LEAVING, in the first place.

Even fast food and Medical companies are now trying to relocate their headquarters out of the country to avoid US regulation.

Both of our political parties, have been completely sold out, against American manufacturing now for the last four presidencies.

Both parties have been selling everything as quickly as possible. It is absolutely disgusting to watch anymore.

GOP stand up for American jobs.

Stand up. Now.

You have to back even farther, to the Clean Air Act, and the legislation since, as well as the strikes of 1975/76.

The only way to bring back jobs from China is to raise TARRIFS on Chinese goods sold in the U.S. and I don’t know many Americans in favor of that.

That is unquestionably one way, to address the (big) problem.

I myself have no problem with tariffs. None whatsoever.

America badly needs to support American manufacturing once again.

To: peyton randolph; All

he refuses to listen to why the jobs left and stay away. he just keeps saying bring jobs back. he’s one of the sheep from animal farm.

you have to fix the reasons why they left in order to bring them back. we woldlike the jobs back too. but they won’t come back until you fix the problems as to why they left. the americn business climate sucks from a heavy-handed, micromanaging, regulating to death, taxing any way they can, government. at all levels government is hostile to every business that’s left.

if they just had a business-friendly tax policy/system it’d go a long way. but they do not.

you mindlesly bleating about bringing jobs back while ignoring why they left or even acknowledging we have to fix the reasons why they left, to get them back, is acting myopically liberal.

All I am saying is a large (far too large, in my view) portion of America’s business elite, have sold out to China.

Completely.

They exported formerly American businesses, and now no longer truly control their own businesses.

For this, they still make (a minority) of the profits, after paying a now completely-Chinese workforce, and enriching China.

China now has the second-largest military budget on earth.

Bring back American jobs. Back to America.
