Free Trade is joke if only one side is playing fair. Are India & China opening their markets to us? No, they aren't. We are getting screwed. They sell their cheap crap here and we get to sell nothing there.

You need to get a clue about Economics. They sell their cheap crap here because we buy it and we don't make cheaper crap here. If we made cheaper crap that people wanted to buy here.. who cares if they can buy our cheap crap there. Get it?

If the Chinese people want to subsidize America by paying for our towels and back scratchers thats mighty odd. Hardly strategic industries. The truth is that the US gets an economic advantage for buying cheap crap where ever it is cheapest.

Where we are really really really really missing the boat, it is deliberate sabotage, and that is in Oil where we have loads of it and refuse to use our own and we buy Trillions of dollars of it from the Middle East and no they aren't buying our crap either but are you complaining?

You’re an importer I presume?...

America first.

There's a difference between free trade and fair trade. Try importing a vehicle into Japan or, better yet, South Korea. It will cost you about a grand and take a month in Japan and is virtually impossible in South Korea.

We don't import much from India except workers. Six of the ten companies with the most H1B visa workers are Indian-owned.

You aren't very smart...

I doubt you have been to China or India either.
