Clearly they are a part of my experience but in the end I must acknowledge the deeper plan.
Nixon and Kissinger opened up China and now China has to be closed off contained according to the “Conservatives”.
It’s clear that underneath all the Conservative wordsmithing and commentating in my lifetime was government policy that “has gone both ways”.
A great disappointment is the massive uncontrolled growth in government spending that has weakened this nation.
No wonder the need to build a “Great Wall Against China”.
I have the impression we "opened up China" to one-way trade. It seems to me we gave away our manufacturing by letting Chinese (slave-labor) imports undercut lots of American companies into non-existence. And now enough people have noticed that it's time for tariffs again.
I don't recall that Rush (God rest his soul) ever missed a trick or showed up compromised.
