We HAVE factories here. Lots of them. Our manufacturing out put is higher than pre-WWII as a GDP percentage. It’s the JOBS that are gone NOT the manufacturing. There’s lots of reasons for offshoring: cheap labor, lack EPA BS, no unions, proximity to other markets, easier acquisition of land, tax breaks...
Tariffs accomplish nothing. They’re a way to prop up poorly run businesses against smarter competition, and punish the consumer by making them pay higher prices for not good reason.
You got one thing right though. Go Trump, go far far away. That 5 time party changing isn’t a conservative and anybody that thinks he is has allowed themselves to be duped.
Good post.
Before the 1970s China was basically a huge North Korea. It was so backwards it wasn't even funny. Then, to promote a "New World Order" the USA in its infinite wisdom decided to artificiality give the Chicoms technology, money and fixed contracts and then transplanted factories from the USA to to China. The whole thing was done to make China stronger in the fight against the USSR and the cold war. The a funny thing happened, the USSR collapsed under its own weight and we were left holding the bag on a policy that no longer had application. This China policy was kept in place for no good reason except to make international gloBULList corporations an their international stock holders rich.
Again this is nothing but and example of humongous international central planning. It pits US workers against the Asian peasants and we are bleeding dry, wealth is being transferred out of the USA.
