185-"The US Government enjoys a social contract with the citizens of the country, based on the quaint notion that the Gummint and its officers will promote and protect the US citizen (that includes workers) from all enemies, foreign and domestic.

Our Gummint, beginning with Nixon, accelerating markedly with X42, and currently with the Clueless George in office, seems to have forgotten their part of the social contract."

The free-traitors seem to have forgotten the founding principals of our government, as have our current globalist leadership.

The corporations have even forgotten they are american.

I have to laugh at General Motors - the Chinese have stolen a whole car design and production from them (while I cry at their greedy stupidity)

Unfortunately there is nothing much to discuss left here. There are two sides here. One calls other traitors(doesn't help with the argument), I personally don't care since I am a damn Canadian lol but if I were American I would take exception to that :)

Half of the arguments presented here refer to trade in the form that was done in the days of British Empire. King(government) issued permission for one trade company which then traded in specific are of interest. Those days are gone. People here really want government to control how much and where companies may sell or buy?? /boggle Seriously in the modern times even China has freer system. Only old USSR operated in that mode(did not work too good for them). Do you realize the massive damage it will do to your own economy?

Nobody replied to what I posted in my first post. Argument that marginal product has some "inherent" value outside of the price supported by the market is preposterous. Half of the argument in that article is based on that premise, Chinese and Indians underpricing the marginal product their workers are producing. It is false. There is no min price for doing anything.

One can agree with the argument given in the article about mobility of the means of production. However does that mean that trade is bad? No. When US companies trade with India do you really think there is not a SINGLE good that Americans are better/more efficient at producing? Because if we in North America are that sad, we should all commit sepuku and be done with it. But somehow I don't think thats the case.
