I must have stumbled into a Lou Dobbs fest.
As to China, That is a skunk of a different color.
We started out with some good intentions, but the Commie govt. has morphed and now uses capitalism as a funding mechanism. Who would have thunk!
But the worm is turning. It is turning slowly but definitely turning in every way.
We are benefiting from China's cheap goods, whether you care to admit it.
And exporting a few boring bullcrap tech assistance jobs to India is not my idea of a huge or even small impact, when we import far more higher paying profitable jobs. Those exports are coming off the overhead and making companies more efficient. Some have already decided it is not for them.
I see no downside, as the GDP continues to expand.
What worries me, is is the GDP growth stops. Then you can be concerned,but it will not be free trade that causes it. It is protectionism that does that.
RE: when we import far more higher paying profitable jobs.
From India? China? Mexicorruption? Dare I ask, like what? I have seen ads recruiting for representatives here to sell Indian-based IT and engineering support. Those are good jobs. Seriously.
