OK good points on Nixon...
However....American factories were moving to Communist China as early as 1984...Mattel opened a factory that yr in ComChina
Thanks for the note of agreement, and for the mention of Matel. I’m sure they weren’t the only ones. I gauge it the most part by the massive trade deficits we started to run around 1992. At that point we just went “all-in” for all intents and purposes.
BTW: Your views re: Nixon are not isolated. The media, Democrats, and a lot of Republicans share them. I think the education system played into this, just going for the Nixon jugular ever chance they’ve gotten over the last 40 years. And you can add at least another 10-15 on that prior to Watergate for the media.
