Baloney.

I support American jobs, right here.

I got nothing to apologize for. Absolutely nothing.

I am not pro-union. I however am (very) much pro-American, and our trade situation has become anything but that.

Your position wanting China to grow ever stronger, is more a democrat position.

For real.

Our trade situation is currently out of control.

It’s not about YOU and your stinking wallet.

I don’t care about your wallet. The Universe does not revolve around your wallet.

I do care about the well being of my fellow Americans, White, Asia, Latin and African Americans.

This country needs JOBS, many more well paying JOBS.

Without more TAXPAYERS the country is going to implode.

Thank you for the kind words.

Also thank you for constantly bringing this subject up.

Many people on this board don’t want to hear it, but they need to.

Now, wait a minute . . . how can my position be "wanting China to grow ever stronger," when you are allowed to adjust your position thread by thread?

Is that the new rule? Assign a fictitious argument to others, but claim none of your own?

Stand for what you are supporting.

You are standing for what we currently have, which is completely sold out to China.

Fess up.

I will ask you again. How much more do you expect your fellow citizens to pay in order to fund the “well being of [our] fellow Americans?” Don’t be a pussy about it.

Sorry bud, but from where I sit, we have not "completely sold out to China." I understand that you might feel that way, but as I stated earlier, maybe the Dem Party is best for you. They're all about "feelings."

Last year America bought 466 billion dollars worth of goods from China.

Last year China bought 124 billion dollars worth of goods from America.

It’s even worse, thus far this year.

It is going up all the time.

Over 18 trillion dollars. Yet we buy, and buy, and buy ever more from China and elsewhere.

While ever more Americans, are out of work. Bring back jobs to America.

I’ve been reading recently that Mexico is now able to undercut China on auto parts production. That’s exactly the opposite of 15 years ago.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out going forward.

You're hopeless. You refuse to understand the difference. You're just yammering about it to score points with the low-information types.

And I will continue to point it out, thread-by-thread if necessary.

No I am genuinely concerned that America (as in both parties) are in the middle of selling out America to the Peoples Republic of China.

That is what I am concerned about.

It is not just you, who are on the wrong side. Very few people yet get that we’re selling out everything which made America the great country it has been.

Everything.

GOP get with the program. America needs to bring back jobs.

The internet is not killing jobs.

Taxes and regulations are killing jobs.

It has has been beneficial. I think the internet is giving people another way to conduct business. Things are more available and accessible to people.

Of course, the old ways have to change or they will go the way of the buggy whip.

Your argument is a false premise, and thus a waste of time.

Do Free Trade policies create more Taxpayers who can help fund the country? No. It creates more Wall Mart workers who can’t even support themselves without aid.

We have 90+ million people out of the workforce. What is your goal 150 million.

"You are right, codeflier. As Milton Friedman said, what are they going to do with all those dollars, eat them?"

Right. If a farmer/rancher can get more in China ….free trade and all……

That’s BS. If you were “genuinely concerned,” then you would school yourself regarding basic economic language.

Your opinion is stated with so much force that it must be true. What else can there be?
