Wow, you made your point very well—now I understand. I’m going to have to chew on that for a while. It just feels “wrong” at first glance. I’m not sure I can shake that feeling. I don’t trust the Chinese at all either.
I hope that the point you got out of what I said was that this is PRECISELY how the money men think of it, that conservatives are mostly on the side of the moneymen, and that by following their leadership on trade we are killing the farms, killing the industrial sector and shipping everything to China. And what we’re buying back from China is now killing our pets. But oh well, pets don’t give anybody jobs, and replacing them is good for the pet breeding industry. Can’t let anything get in the way of moneymen making money, because that is the REASON we have a capitalist system, doncha know? And unregulated capitalism is best. Ronald Reagan said so, so you know it must be true.
What missing is the patriotism towards America. International companies show allegiance to the dollar only.
