I agree.
Clinton. Bush. Obama. It has been both parties, every single year, selling out ever more.
I completely agree. I (thought) Trump would stand up for us. He doesn’t seem to have, with China yet.
He still could. But not yet.
Many supply chains are so integrated, and the decay is so far along, there are either no US suppliers of many products, or manufacturers and consumers would howl or simply shut down if immediate bans or high duties were put in place.
The USA, I am afraid, is going the way of Brazil. A socialist country with socialist labor, economic, debt, and top-down statist policies that will then pass across the board decisions to nationalize and localize industries. It becomes a playground for the rich and corrupt. Bringing industry back not only means addressing china, but addressing our own job-killing policies from unions, to debt, to OSHA, to EPA, to Obamacare to tort reform
