Boycotting Asian goods is a non-starter. Most of our durable goods are manufactured there and sold here at a low price that American-made goods just cannot compete with. The average American consumer only cares about price and so they will go to the Best Buys, the Walmarts and all the other big-box stores and buy on price - regardless of where the product is made.

There will also be plenty of jobs in the U.S. but many of them are going to be service-based jobs that cannot be exported. So if you can install/repair a toilet, install electrical wiring, repair a car, etc., there will be jobs for you here. If you want to work in a factory, good luck to you. Other than maybe some light manufacturing where it might make sense to keep the operation local (i.e. making cardboard cartons and plastic jugs for milk), most manufacturing is already overseas and stands to stay there until we get to the point where robots will take over everything.

American businesses need to get with it, and get our government involved in bringing American jobs back here.

For over an entire generation we have been hollowing out America.

Now China has a lower unemployment rate than America, and this year now also has become a larger exporter than America.

China is winning.

American companies doing business in China are just one Chinese law away, from having nothing.

American companies had a long and very profitable run in China, but they need to start bringing jobs back home.

And our government needs to stand up, and help them.

Yes, we can! The reason we cannot compete effectively is because there is no level playing field. Americans are held to a different standard than the Chicoms. If Americans demanded they be held to the same environmental/worker safety standards....we could very well compete.

Remember...it's the liberal left unions, liberal environmental wackos, globalist and the politicians with campaign cash hanging out their pockets that are to blame.

American workers, American ingenuity, resourcefulness that make us great. Get the corruption and big brother gubbamint out of the way and you will see the finest products in the world in which no country can compete.

Again...want to support child slave labor? Wanna support environmental disaster? Support the degradation of the American middle class?

Then be one of those average Americans that care only about price. Slice the throat of your own.

Boycott cheap Chinese goods. When American corporations see the impact to their bottom line...they will adjust accordingly.

Hey...no offense, it's just business, right?
