American industry is sold out. Go in any store. Shelf after shelf, of stuff. All of it “Made in China”.
It is this massive yearly, constant trade deficit America is running with China meanwhile, which is contributing meanwhile, to China’s military buildup.
China now has the world’s second-largest military budget.
That is (rapidly) growing.
Sorry. I just think you are approaching it all wrong. Nothing personal, but your approach will simply not work.
We are conservatives here, so it is a more or less a given that free markets with capitalist underpinnings (the ability to make money and own property) are the engines that drive prosperity.
Where I take issue is your assertion that people have to stop buying all imported products.
It will not work. It goes against human nature. It is why capitalism works so well, because few things motivate like money.
What we need to do is make the industrial environment in this country attractive to investors both domestic and foreign, and allow business to do business with minimal government intrusion by decreasing legislation and taxes.
Again, nothing personal here. Your approach simply will not work, encouraging people to just not by imported products.
See I believe there is an equally as significant conservative belief, to be for America.
That is increasing, in importance. Significantly I believe.
I understand the supporting free markets, but we also need to support America.
I’m not sure how, but I know that is equally as conservative. Support America.
