You do understand that once dumping (that's what it's called) has cleared out the US competitors, prices will rise. Furthermore, if you think we're ever going to get those factories we're busily shipping to China back, you're kidding yourself. That infrastructure is gone. We don't even have the facilities (on a large scale) to make equipment anymore, most of that is in China too.

Yeahright. That's why we lost world war ii. We simply couldn't build a war time industrial base largely from scratch fast enough. Again, dude, if you're only advantage is price, and they begin to rise again, you lose.

You don't have a clue. Our machine tool and stamping companies are being shipped to china on a grand scale. You need machine tools to build more machine tools.
We did not build the industrial base from scratch in WWII. It was already there. We just expandned on it.

Help me to understand you, please. Are you saying that USA built "a war time industrial base largely from scratch"?
