I have a job.
What I am saying is we have a MASSIVE trade deficit with the Peoples Republic of China.
Massive.
We buy something along the lines of 440 billion dollars of goods (last year) from the ChiComs.
We only sell around 122 billion dollars of goods to them. (again, last year)
Every single year, we buy billions and billions of dollars more from China, then we sell to them.
Yet China manipulates their home market, to “protect” it.
We are selling out America, while China continues a massive protected home market.
That is flat-out wrong.
Bring back jobs, to America.
Then give it to someone else, and create an American Job.
Your posts are filled with platitudes about American Jobs, yet you offer no solutions. From what I read your solution would be for the United States to follow the example of China and manipulate the markets.
Well the average Chinese man works 16 hours a day and probably makes $10-$15 a day. If they don't work, they are sent to work camps where they will work for free.
If Americans worked like that, then we'd have plenty of American Jobs.
Is that the kind of jobs you want Americans to take? Forced jobs in a centralized economy?
Just thank God you have a job, and if you want more American Jobs, then create them. Hire some enterprising teenager to do your yard and paint your fence. Maybe someday he will become a landscaper or a contractor.
