China has a comparative advantage (an economic term) for making certain goods, and thus it makes sense to let them make those goods and we make other goods and services where we have a comparative advantage. It does not make sense for us to be making toasters and VCRs, but the buy-American crowd does not understand reality or basic economics.
Exactly... I’d rather make a $15 trillion GDP building and selling airplanes, operating systems, CPUs rather than making a $900 billion GDP making forks, insole liners and plastic cups!
