I do not enjoy an economy basically run by our Chinese masters who play games with currency. There is no free market why not fact the truth...these free traders are fakes and are destroying our country.

Right now we do not have truly free trade. But to the extent it is free we prosper.

Let's add up the ways the Chinese are our masters. They work for nearly free to make and sell goods to us far cheaper than we can make them for ourselves thus enabling us to enjoy a higher standard of living.

In return they receive pieces of paper called US dollars which are worth no more or no less than the US government wishes them to be. Then they stockpile these dollars because they would be worthless if redeemed all at once.

While they have held these promises to pay promises they have decreased in value on a world wide trade weighted basis by over 40% in the past 5 years. Real smart masters.

So they trade blood, sweat, and treasure for pieces of paper. They won't always be so stupid so enjoy it while you can.

Do you really want to pay a UAW union member over $70 per hour to make a car for you? Do you want the government to REQUIRE you to buy what they make no matter how piss poor it is (remember the 70’s domestic cars)?

If someone, some company, or some country wants to give you a free car would you complain? Probably not, so why complain if it is 20% - 50% off? We should celebrate when the Chinese sell cheap because we get a bargain and they go broke.
