The situation is not dandy, but it's the reality.

Even if we block further job transfer to China for these labor-intensive jobs, they will just move to another third world country.

I believe we should make sure China is not putting up any trade barriers and make them buy more American-made goods, like high-tech stuffs and certain agricultural products.

The alternative is to put up trade barriers and become isolationist. However, the last time that happened, it lead to the Great Depression.

Doesn't it embarrass you to display such a clueless grasp of both history and economics?
