It is sheer madness to think that our manufacturers can compete with foreign companies who's cost of doing business is 1/3rd to 1/10th of what ours is. They shouldn't be forced to try.

Who exactly is 'forcing' them? If they can't compete, close up shop and sell the real estate for a new subdivision. Thats the way the market works bro.

Do you think that bankruptcy is a good substitute for prudent trade policy? If so, you have a lot of company.

And when the all assets are sold to the foreigners the dollar value will fall low enough to make foreign products and services too expensive for American consumers. Thats the way the market works man.
