Not at all. There are two huge differences between you and I.

A: I give you the benefit of the doubt of having your heart in the right place, and recognize that we both want the same thing. You think I’m anti American because I believe differenty than you on what’s best for America.

B: I udnerstand how jobs are created, you do not. I understand macro economics, you do not.

As to the defense component of Boeing, that would be a different subject. But again, I was using Boeing as an exmaple of how jobs are created and destroyed and how a job in China or anywhere else from an American made company does NOT NECESSARILY MEAN that there is one less American job because of it. You think that. You are wrong. And that is the narrow focus of our little hypothetical story. You took that hypothetical and have me outsoursing bombers to China. BTW, I dont’ think we make the B 17 anymore…..

I would certainly be in favor of the military projects staying here even if the costs were higher….but we were clearly talking about the commercial Dreamliner project and economic theory, not particular state secrets. Get a clue.

Once agian, you cannot follow the logic of a conversation, explaining how you became an adult while knowing less about marcro economics than my teen kids. You cannot refute a single syllable of my Apple or Boeing examples…..

The manufacture of Apple in the USA would increase the per unit cost of an I-Phone. I am not sure but I would say 10%. But for that 10% we get thousands of employed non-union AMERICANS who not on the dole. A win for the taxpayer and for America. Not every decision is economic. Nobody thinks Apple would go out of business if the I-Phone was made in Arkansas. Are you saying that?

Because of economic border less soulless unAmerican "Captains of Industry" tariffs are becoming a necessity. There is an economic playground in America with 26 R-T-W states, if that isn't good enough than pay the tariffs out of the profit margin...
