Yes. So is the value of our imports. Do you have a point?
China makes most ( 90%?) of the products everyday Americans use.
That's funny. And wrong.
And you say it's a bad thing if we actually produced just 25% of what China produces for us
I do? Where?
So you say that is a bad thing if we actually that industry back.
I do? Where?
All you free traders agree with Obama and democrats
No, I disagree with Obama and democrats.
I’ll reply to your post point by point later, but have to go now.
But I have time for this. You free traders agree with Obama, democrats and Marx on this free trade.It’s ridiculous to give China all our technology and allow them to make most (soon every little thing) we use. Anyone that thinks that we the U.S.A. can survive when another country(S) produces practically every damn thing we use is not living in reality but in the media created alternate universe. We are living on debt and that is not sustainable.
Yeah we still have some manufacturing but that will soon all go. Look at the very STEEP decline of manufacturing jobs.And some of those jobs they call manufacturing are in mining etc. which are not really manufacturing. And you keep pointing out the value of manufactured U.S. goods increases . Yeah sure in inflated dollars but jobs and the actual stuff produced are in China.
