[Toddsterpatriot]

In other words, you like living for the momentary gains, without regard to the future.

How is my purchase of low priced goods, saving money to be spent on my family, having no regard for the future? How are my profitable foreign investments, reducing current consumption, living for a momentary gain?

[William Terrell]

How is my purchase of low priced goods, saving money to be spent on my family, having no regard for the future?

Once we become dependent on these "low priced goods", and the manufacturers thereof move to foreign countries, which may or may not be our "friends", and the skills here lost, why should the prices stay low?

How are my profitable foreign investments, reducing current consumption, living for a momentary gain?

Investing in foreign enrichment instead of the enrichment of you own fellow countrymen means the degradation of the opportunities of your fellow countrymen. This may work for the moment.
