Yes but now China is doing exactly that, yet we have sent millions of jobs, from America and made them Chinese jobs.
Apple, and every computer company, have basically all exported manufacturing there.
Basically everything you buy now, is imported from China.
Entire industries have been offshored. Many to China.
Yet the country, with four times America’s population, is still censoring Winnie the Pooh, and gobbling up ever more global production.
Our focus is off, it seems to me.
And who remembers how sneakily and surreptitiously this was done?
During the late 80's, & 90's and 2000's when all of the
layoffs were occurring (and still are) in IT and manufacturing,
the American public was told it was because the
"economy was contracting" or the "tax rates were wrong"
or the educational system wasn't producing enough trained workers."
Blah, blah, blah.
Meanwhile both the Dems and the Republicans were collecting
their payoffs and exacerbating the problem by opening the borders and flooding the country with illegals and H1B "workers."
Both parties are nothing but damn liars and traitors to the American People.
Never trust any of them - no matter how "conservative" they sound.
