I’m just saying.
China now exports more than America.
Do you think China is free? China has millions of former American jobs.
They are working, we are increasingly not. Bring back American jobs to the states.
Of course China is not free. But China having all our money does not do them any good either.
If someone does something more efficiently than you, you use their goods or service. I can bake bread but the baker does it more easily and for less than I can. I can replace my clutch but the mechanic does it for less and more easily than I can. Because they do it for less I patronize their goods and services.
Likewise, if another community, county, state, region, country does it more efficiently you patronize them. Nearly every state grew wheat for local bread but areas like east Washington and Kansas can do it way more efficiently. SHould the former residents of Asti, California be preventing the sale of Kansas wheat in their area?
Yes, there are problems, like when labor and production are limited by regulation or compliance here in the US causing production costs to be higher than elsewhere. It isn’t a level playing field, but then it never really is.
I thought Murphy made some good points, however.
