And if the manufacturing capability is there and not here, how exactly will they lose the jobs?

The same way you claim we are losing the jobs.

I don't feel anything about it, but I think they should invest in their own country. And their investment in the US is not good fro the US. Yes, they are enriching themselves at the expense of fellow countrymen, and doing America no good.

So, let me see if I understand your point. If an American invests abroad it's bad for America but good for the foreign country? If a foreigner invests in America it's bad for his own country and bad for America?

What will the situation be, I wonder, when a critical mass of this country is owned by foreign powers.

I'm curious what you think that critical % would be? What do you think the current % would be?

I couldn't care less what is good for a foreign country. I care about what is good for America. Do you live in America?

Tell me, why should America become dependent on world trade, instead of manufacturing in American and trading with each other?
