Bingo, thanks free trading GOP, your trade policies are going to be the death of many young soldier and our nation.
WRONG.
It was during the CLINTON ADMINISTRATION that the industrial base went down.
Thanks for showing yourself to be a troll.
Destro, check out the innacurate statement after the quote at post 888 when you get the chance.

Exactly what is the opposite of free trade you keep spamming about? The opposite of "free" is "slave"...so you think we need the slave trade to fix our problems?
Before you go into a lengthy explanation...don't bother.
There's a finite amount of capital in a closed system. Example : China. The peasants were revolting due to chronic poverty and death and disease, and when a whole lot of Chinese peasants revolt, the regime is gone, done, defunct, kaput, etc.
Lucky for the Red Chinese, they had Bill Clinton to open up their formerly closed system for them AND to sign Permanent Normalized Trade Relations, thus stopping any subesquent administrations from correcting the egregeous wrong he (Clinton) did to the American people via our economy.
Oh and Bill also opened the Pantagon to Chinese "press" members and invited Chinese agents to learn all the logiastics and tactics of our military in a one sided "exchange" program.
