You said that. I think it is higher(anyone cam make statistics to say practically anything they want and stats U.S. imported 2.2 trillion dollars of imported goods to the U.S. from ALL countries) So china is probably higher than $400 billion. Yeah china is the main problem but many countries are copying China. Still even your number is a HUGE number and how many jobs is that and that is from ONE country China. How much is your number per family(that's about $4000 dollars in goods per American family per year just to china). 2.2 trillion in imported goods is how much per family, per person in the U.s. do the math($20,000 per family). A country that has to have other countries( mainly China) make 2.2 trillion of the things we use and you say that is ok? you are not living in reality. imagine how many jobs, technology , factories etc we'd have in the U.S. if we produced just 1/3 of that 2.2 trillion that we import from other countries? And the worse part is it's getting worse every month so soon as I said practically everything we use will be made in China. Practically everyone knows that most of the stuff we use in made in China . Only you and some other free traders believe otherwise . yes we all are wrong and only you are right( NOT). We import 2.2 trillion of the things we use per year. That's almost practically everything we use already and if anything is left it will soon go overseas. And you wonder why we have to borrow so much , not just Obama's 5 trillion it borrowed but every level of government and individual is also in debt (100 trillion in unfunded liabilities and you fiddle while Rome burns) wake up you free traders.you must not live in the U.S. you are losing money.
Lets take one industry , the electronics industry. That was invented in the U.S.A. . The U.S.A invented and made personal computers, TVS, VCRs, radios etc. Now all of that is made in china.Practically Nothing in that industry is made in the U.S.A. (soon NOThing period). take one product out of the thousands of electronics products, personal computers. Imagine if we put just one factory making ipads here in the U.S.A . How many jobs, technology will that create? and the supply chains to that factory/product, factories for each part like the computer chips,screen, the wires the plastic for the wires and the steel for the parts etc, . Just one factory in that chain has factory workers, engineers, embedded programmers,software engineers, process engineers, electricians, custodians, accountants, lawyers, practically every occupation and technology occupations. all that is in China now and we have lost the ability to manufacture high tech products . You think that is no problem but you put up liberal media propaganda stats etc. You have no idea what makes economy , you think that leaving China have all those jobs and technology and letting them make all that for us is good. you are not living in reality.
You said that.
Sure did
I think it is higher
Here is my source. Where's yours?
Still even your number is a HUGE number and how many jobs is that
How many?
A country that has to have other countries( mainly China) make 2.2 trillion of the things we use and you say that is ok?
I said that? Where?
imagine how many jobs, technology , factories etc we'd have in the U.S. if we produced just 1/3 of that 2.2 trillion that we import from other countries?
It's true, if we made all our cheap plastic toys and pink flamingo lawn ornaments, we'd have lots of high technology, high paying jobs.
as I said practically everything we use will be made in China.
Yeah, I already ridiculed that silly claim.
Practically everyone knows that most of the stuff we use in made in China .
Yeah, $400 billion in a $15 trillion economy translates into "most".
Only you and some other free traders believe otherwise
You're right, free traders are much better at math than you.
And you wonder why we have to borrow so much ,
I don't wonder at all, it's because our government spends way too much.
(100 trillion in unfunded liabilities
Yeah, the government promises way too much future spending.
you are not living in reality.
You're funny.
You said you were going to reply point by point. Let me know when you get around to that. Especially this one.
You free traders agree with Obama, democrats and Marx on this free trade.
Please explain how. Be as precise as you can.
