[Luis Gonzalez]

Factories in India and China will manufacture low-cost goods whether we buy those goods, or someone else does.

We can either let others buy that product and try competing against them, or we can own their output, and use it to our benefit.

I say we own their output.

Or look at it this way:

My grandfather went from riding a horse to school and milling grain with water power to being a penniless refugee to flying in jet planes and laying out highways with lasers.

And we are complaining that the world changes?
