but what are you saying about us
Some are stupid.
Some can't understand the complexities of trade and trade barriers.
Most are influenced by lobbies and their spokespeople who have an interest in maximizing short-term profits, primarily by depressing the "cost" of labor. Usually this is clothed in the verbiage of "free trade." For them, "free trade" is a barrier-less US without any concern of foreign barriers. The fact that "labor" won't be able to purchase much in the future is not much a concern for them.
Indians, Chinese, even the EU think in the long term. ANd they understand America, study it closely. They know the "banks" and financial services industries are powerful domestic forces, with the Repubs, even more so with the Demos. That's why this Indian is appealing to those interests.
