These people crack me up. It is their trade policies (or lack thereof) that has allowed this to happen. And now they cry about it. Worthless bunch of morons.
Bingo! Back in the 90s when there was talk of admitting China into the WTO, I lived in Texas and wrote all the Washington reps not to do it. I told them that we would be at war with China in 10 years and this was equivalent to selling scrap iron to the Japs in the 30s.
Never heard back from Hutchinson; Graham patted me on the head and implied that trade with China (like greed) was "good". Dick Armey wrote me a reasoned two-page rebuttal and signed it. He also thought China in the WTO was good. Now, of a sudden, Washington is shocked, shocked I tell you, that China might be a threat.
Ten years have come and gone and luckily we are not at war -- yet. But neither have they been softened by trade, which was one of the pro-China mantras then.
