I don't understand how we are going to bring down Chinese communism like we did Russia when we give them MFN status. When I used to go to the store I don't recall seeing many items that said "Made in Russia" however just about everything now says "Made in China."

Let's give them money, give them technology and then hope they don't destroy us.

I wrote a letter to the Commandant of the Marine Corps when I saw that he was going over to China to assist them with their amphibious landing technology during the Clinton administration. I couldn't believe it.

I got a response: "The Commandant thanks you for your comments."

I don't understand how this MFN business is in our interest either. I don't know how we can compete with third wworld slaves and why we should help them build weapons.

Some say "they" (corporate elites)want to destroy the working and middle class no matter the cost (cheap labor). It depends on how paranoid I am on a given day whether I believe this.
