The question is whether that good stuff comes from child labor or subsistence workers who live in polluted rice patties...

Ah.   Here I thot the question was whether we got a bad deal or whether America will be able to manufacture arms in time of war or whether the American worker has a good job.  Every time we answer one question the question changes, and in the mean time the money I earned by learning a new trade gets taxed to pay for 'protecting' some clown that didn't learn a new trade.

Your fellow blue collar Americans are “clowns”? Spoken like a true America-hating Democrat. I can see why you would be thrilled with the America-hating trade policies of Hillary Rotten Criminal and Government Sachs.

The choice right now is Trump or Hillary. And you are sure working hard to suppress support for Trump here. Hillary and the kenyan thank you. Birds of a feather...

No, the question is whether you're:

1) comfortable paying a little more to benefit your community by supporting local manufacturers and producers, who in turn hire local workers who are paid sufficiently to have a home like yours, who then purchase commodities at the local market where you shop, where the profits from the sales go back to the manufacturers and producers to expand and/on hire more workers and/or raise their pay to spend more at the local markets;

or

2) you're comfortable knowing that you saved a few bucks on the backs of subsistence workers who live in poor conditions, who are being exploited by foreign government-controlled businesses that steals technology and pollutes someone else's backyard.

I prefer to be part of a value chain that benefits my community first, and then shares the surplus with others. Sustaining our own supply and value chains is how we get to sustaining wartime manufacturing or long-term occupational stability.
