Your math is so laughably wrong, you must be the product of a failing public school.
Thanks again for avoiding the questions I asked upthread.
And for your continued attempts to put words in my mouth.
China has already destroyed most of our U.S. manufacturing ability.
Here's your chance, again. Prove it. Find out our US manufacturing output and show me it's close to zero.
Or run away. Again.

No. I worked for a retailer. All of the stuff they purchased was made in China, all of it. And they marked it up at least 50%. And that retailer purchased it from distributors here in the U.S. who actually did the importing from China. Of course those distributors made their profit too and so had a markup. So a 50% markup is extremely conservative. See distributors import something from China for a $1 and then sell that to retailers so they sell that for a lot more than $1 as they have to cover their shipping costs and also make a profit. then retailers buy from distributors and they have to make their profit. the U.S. does import almost 3 trillion of foreign stuff per year. And after the U.S. distributor and retailers make their profits then the price that U.S. consumers pay for foreign products is at least 6 trillion (and that is a conservative estimate because I ‘m only using a markup of 50%). So consumers pay in stores at least 6 trillion for foreign made products and that is most of the consumer economy. So if we don't import everything we use now, soon we will( as the rate of import growth is tremendous). It's ridiculous that the government says that our U.S. economy is consumer spending and government spending. Neither of those produce anything as most (soon ALL) of the stuff U.s. consumers buy is made in other countries. That is no economy . An economy is producing things and if we would produce the 6 trillion we buy from other countries that would increase our technological prowess, and create jobs for American citizens.
China is the biggest threat to the U.S. and freedom. china has manipulated its currency( and Obama fails to label China a currency manipulator). Just this currency manipulation has led to a destruction of over 50,000 U.S. factories (better than any war bombing campaign could have). China has killed U.S. citizens with this economic war. All we are living on is debt(16 trillion and counting) . china is lending the U.S. money and buying up politicians and banks etc. So China is propping us up while they take over. China is even pushing for the UN to regulate the Internet.
Be Afraid: Russia And China Seek To Put In Place Top-Down Regulation Of The Internet
from the pay-attention dept
For all the talk of SOPA/PIPA/ACTA/TPP, there's another much bigger threat to “the Internet as we know it.” It's a bunch of countries who are seeking to use the UN’s International Telecommunication Union (ITU) to create a top-down regulatory scheme for the Internet. This process began a few months back, but FCC Commissioner Robert McDowell has a pretty good summary of the situation in the WSJ, and why those who believe in Internet freedom should be afraid.
China has to be stopped.China are a bunch of evil communists and they are at war with the U.S. and have destroyed our economy, factories, freedom( yes if you have money then you have more freedom so Americans have less money ...).

The U.S. does import almost 3 trillion $ of foreign products.
I used to work for a retailer in the purchasing dept.All the stuff we purchased was made in China.
Is some item was $3 then the retailer would mark it up to at least $6. But that was purchased from the distributor who did the importing from china and had their own markup.
So consumers are paying at least 6 trillion in products made in other countries. That's most of the stuff we use and is too much . We need to make things in the U.S.A again. And china needs to be stopped. Soon it will be all of the things we use ( you can see this if you look at any graph of the increase in imports).
China is the biggest threat we have . And other countries are imitating China in how China has ripped off the U.S.. If you look at the numbers, at how fast imports are growing and how much we import already anyone can see that soon everything we use (or almost everything) will be made in other countries. A country cannot survive like that . And that is sad considering we the U.S. was far above in technology , manufacturing just a few decades ago, before free trade especially with China and BJ Clinton's free trade agreement with china helped accelerate the destruction of America. Look at detroit to see a destroyed U.S. city when it was just a few decades ago the center of technology and manufacturing in the world.
Production of pig iron/steel is about half of what it was in 1940! China makes more steel than the rest of the world COMBINED. Nothing to see here, move along.
