Well said. I am honestly ashamed of so called conservatives who bash Walmart and China trade. The only explanation for such conduct is ignorance. Walmart and trade with China are great things—not bad things.

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!
