What really hurts is when all of the Christmas tree ornaments are made in China.
Isn't anyone in charge concerned that the US is losing, or has lost its ability to be self sufficient if everyone who didn't like us got together and declared a war?
That's one of the many aspects that bothers me. All the hotshot economists declare what a good thing it is for the American consumer to have access to all these goods at attractive prices, but they don't have an answer for what happens when a war or someting cuts off that supply.
We had a sample of that when we had a shortage of things like sugar and copper and rubber during WW2. It wasn't a lot of fun. What with the US importing 65% of its crude oil these days, an embargo of our supply would be catastrophic.
