how are you going to stop the semiconductor industry from going to China? All of it, manufacturing first, design is starting to go now too. You can't compete with them on cost, its impossible, they have an infinite supply of labor, a lower standard of living, currency manipulation, etc. We all know the score. So should we just let it go? Just let the whole technology base go to China and India? Are you seriusoly going to tell us that the semiconductor insutry is a "buggywhip"?

Why is India trying so hard to take the IT industry, and China the semiconductor industry, if they are "buggywhips"? Are they stpuid?

I'm just curious as to exactly what you're suggesting as a solution.

Tariffs are a tax, mind you.

And I'm curious as to how long the list of countries that radically improved their economies by banning imports or drastically raising tarriffs is.
