After reading the comments I’m still surprised so many so-called conservatives spout the left wing populist line when given evidence.

The ability to grasp simple economics is as shameful on the right as is on the left.

I was born in 1959 and I’ve heard all these same ridiculous arguments when everything was “made in Mexico” and a danger. Then in the 1980’s the boogie man was “made in Japan” and they were going to buy American wholesale.

Now it’s China, and Vietman and blah, blah, blah. Anyone that can’t understand that with emerging third and second world populations that dwarf our 300 million citizens is going to start using trade with the largest economy on the planet to help their population and we are buying their goods is basically an idiot.

Just don’t buy their stuff. And if you whine you can’t find any USA made products, you clearly are too lazy to look.

Name another industrialized country that off shored their factories to the 3rd world then imported finished goods back into their country for retail sale?

Germany produces BMW's in South Carolina. They sell those cars in North America. If BMW were to ship these BMW's back to Germany, Berlin would be engulfed in riots that made Greece's riots look like cake walks. Japan would dream of that policy. Only in America.
