What I don’t understand is why the President or the house step up to the plate and deal with this.

Too much campaign money involved?

The Clintons are famous for taking China money!

What about Nancey or Harry?

Because obviously, the answer to every problem is more government intrusion into our lives.

Too many personal investments in the Chinese economy.

Might be because they use non-domestic products also. The Feds and all the states use non-domestic products on a daily basis. There’s a program called BUY AMERICA, which was meant to make all federal and state contractors use American made products only. Only there was 1 small glitch, it allows the contractor to use non-domestic products in their bid, if the price of the product comes in 25% less than the lowest domestic product. In theory it would keep the non-domestics out of the market. In reality the non-domestics had no problem coming in below the 25% mark.
