I tend to favor a financially balanced motor vehicle trade and domestic manufacture of all simple items.
Millions of people need cheap cars (and subject to financial balance to prevent federal debt growth beyond the nation’s ability to repay in honestly valued money) they should be able to buy them.
Domestic manufacture of all simple items means the nation would be able to employ millions and retain a strong industrial capability.
It is stupid to pay Chinese in China $2 to save twelve cents in industrial wages that must be made up with $1 in welfare costs.
How gloBULList of you.
