For India and China perhaps but not the USA. How many of these foreign subsidiaries were built with US taxpayer assistance. How much is the US taxpayer ponying up to subsidize these imports.
I have no idea of how much we're sinking there. Can anyone comment?
I accept that production has gone overseas. I hate it, but it seems a done deal.
On the other hand, I notice that most of the dirtier industries are in those places, like battery manufacturing and heavy steel production, while we've managed to hold on to manufacture of things like conventional motors.
I'm really worried about China's growth, their rampant nationalism, and their designs on Taiwan. Binding their feet a little is not a bad thing geopolitically, and a little competition might do that.
