So, your solution is to stop stealing from my right pocket, and begin stealing from the left one?
In effect, you want foreign companies to come and build factories on US soil, thus working within the advantage of your system...the Toyota USA model...bringing about the inevitable: rather than employing foreigners overseas to gain a sustained competitive advantage in the world stage, we will instead sell our native market to foreign corporations, who, by virtue of their ability to sell their wares to the rest of the world unemcumbered by competition from US manufacturers, will have far greater financial resources than US industries and the wherewithal to build factories State side.
End result, rather than employing foreigners to work for us, we will be employed by foreigners.
Yeah...that will save America.
Yes, but first you put money in that left pocket that used to be taken from your right. Then you look around and see the guy that was putting you out of work has to take money out of his left pocket too! And he has to take more money out if he is selling more than you. Suddenly you feel the tightness in your chest letting up and you can breathe again.
As far as foreign companies coming in and setting up plants here YES YES YES! The Toyota and Honda plabts in Tenn and Ohio are wildly successful for the local economies where they are located. And China is not stupid. They had GM build a plant and train the workers before they would agree to a trade contract. Now they hav a plant and a trained work force. Watch for those vehicles showing up here sometime in the future.
