Protectionism isn’t competing. Protectionism makes us less competitive.
How many zillions of times do Freepers have to explain to you that coercion of business resources is un-American, and the solution is to fix our burdensome tax and regulatory systems?

All I am saying is our biggest competitor in the entire globe, is a massive communist nation where imports are very controlled.
China has four or five times, and requires businesses to build stuff IN CHINA.
We need to compete. All it appears we are currently doing, is selling out.
The country we are busy selling our industry to, is a huge and enormously enterprising country, with the complete capability to replace us.
What are we doing to avert that?
Who is working to avert that?
Who?
Republicans? Democrats?
Who?
