True but dubya has been doing a lot of business too with China the trade deficit has gotten even bigger.
I for one avoid buying things from China as much as possible. I try to keep as much money as I can out of the hands of communists.
No doubt, kinda like the way RR handled the Commies. Back when Commies were bad.
Dubya hasn't been trading with China, WE HAVE!
Millions and millions of Americans each find it in their own best economic interests to buy Chinese goods from time to time. These are not transactions conducted between governments, they're business deals transacted between people.
And if we each see fit to spend part of the profit we make from our own work on foreign goods that cost less, then what can possibly be economically bad about it? It leaves us extra money to spend here.
