I wasn't certain of that,
Thank-you very much for providing that definition.
I would be interesting to know where the U.S. dollars dispersed via our trade deficit are going instead of to direct investments.
That becomes more difficult to trace because it gets so widely dispersed. But as I indicated in my previous post, MUCH of it "returns" when foreign nations use it to purchase debt issued by our Treasury to finance our deficit spending. In essence, our gluttonous addiction to "cheap" imports is actually subsidized by the monthly installment payments that'll burden future taxpayers. There's no such thing as a free lunch.
i think it more likely that it is because there are excellent oppoetunites in China...for now
but you paleo-cons can never keep your stories stright. In the 1980s you hated foreign investment because it would caouse america to lose its soverignty, now youre angry because foreign investment is flowing ot other countries....make up your mind
Fabricating a strawman arguement again?
In the '80s, the battle was against the onslaught of imports, not foreign direct investment.
Same as now.
Your revisionism doesn't hold water.
>>That type of character - the display of integrity - is >>not seen often enough here
Thank you.
Love Freely Given is Light Freely returned
God Is Love - Look for it in people's eyes.
Willing sacrifice is love. Jesus Christ was a Jew.
He was willingly sacrificed by God to bring light into the darkness.
His light shines in the darkness - but the darkness has never undestood it.
