We lived a better life...under the manufacturing economic model then will ever happen under the global consumption based mode...current economic conditions certainly demonstrates this.
How old are you? We are not going to change the “global consumption based mode,” however you define that. Protectionism will not work. We don’t need another Hawley-Smoot tariff bill. We should concentrate our efforts on making the playing field level so our workers can compete fairly. We must target individual countries like China to bring their practices and currency in line with the rest of the world.
