If you put any more straw in your argument, you’ll be flammable! You are laying all the economic problems we have on this? That is absurd. That is ignorant. That is sophistry. I can explain it to you, but I can’t understand it for you.

I'll tell you what I understand. We are at historic low import tariffs, historic high unemployment, historic high trade deficits and historic high government debt. Meanwhile our largest retailer is pull of items made in China.

We buy military parts and even military satellite communications from a communist country.

As Dr. Phil says, "How's that working for ya?"

We started lowering import tariffs about 40 years ago and now where down to an historic 1% tariff.

And in that time, I've watched industry after industry close doors. Sure there are new industries that popped up. But now we offshore those almost as soon as they are born, and our innovation is drying up, because we no longer have the familiarity with the manufacturing processes.

Over the course of those 40 years, employment has became less and less stable. Some instability would have happened anyway, but we have devasted many of our industries and built our communist enemy into an economic powerhouse.
