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.

I don't think that's the case at all.

I think they're making lots of money off of the situation, and couldn't care less if America suffers, as long as they profit.

Excellent! Hopefully you'll make more sense.

Please explain how. Be as precise as you can.

I agree.

and allow them to make most (soon every little thing) we use.

We imported a bit less than $400 billion in Chinese goods last year. Do you imagine that is within light years of "soon every little thing we use"?

We are living on debt and that is not sustainable.

Yes, the government spends way too much. You realize a trade deficit is different than a budget deficit, don't you?

Yeah we still have some manufacturing but that will soon all go. Look at the very STEEP decline of manufacturing jobs.

What about manufacturing output?

And you keep pointing out the value of manufactured U.S. goods increases .

I sure do, because some people, believe it or not, don't think we make anything in America anymore.
