Excuse me. The subject here is what Trump said, that we lose $500 billion loss to China every year. We paid China close to $500 billion on exchange for goods in 2015. That certainly is NOT a $500 billion loss. It was misleading and, really, deceptive.
I’m a simple person, no higher degrees in economics.
Any simple person, even a high school dropout, can understand that if you spend $100 at the grocery store, that money stays in US circulation and helps hire people at the grocery store, for one thing.
Buying Chinese (etc) made goods, even if you can find ones that aren’t crap, means money hires CHINESE people.
You are either incredibly dense or playing words games thinking you can fool everyone, and I don’t care which. Globalism SUCKS and makes life more miserable for everyone except the corporatists and their buds.
