It sure is a disadvantage for us not to have borders...
The least they could do is tell us what we’re paying for.
In many politicians minds, "we're beholding to those who grease our re-election coffers (money we can keep once gone from office) and we need to somehow continue to grow the economy and the size of governemnt."
...and here is where it could lead:
Reagan knew that free trade didn’t have to mean giving the store away. This is a great article by Michael Reagan speaking of his father, Duncan Hunter and our trade policies.

The only candidate who sees this coming dropped out. I’m afraid if the islamists don’t get us at some point we will be owned by China.
Threat inflation by media pundits. The PLA isn’t capable of prevailing against the U.S. army and won’t be for at least the next 30 to 40 years.
With your head buried that far in the sand your ears will get filled up.
The Chinese are pushing the Muslims at us. The Muzzies are just the first wave. Then come’s the Marxists of Latin America.
I hope we don’t pay these idiots in the pentagon too much. They are decades behind in their assessment of the Chinese agenda.
The Chinese sell the weapons to our enemies who in turn kill our soldiers. I’m really struggling to find the patriotism in continuing to trade with China. When the Russians were fighting proxy wars against us, we at least had the sense to avoid paying them to do it.
Our worst enemies are running this country.
Anywhere outside of mainland China...
Don’t think of it as the Chinese military, just think of it as an outsourced collection agency.
What would be the point aside from destroying their own economy?
The concept does not transcend the individual, also difficult for western social scientists to see.
(Scratching head) Mmmmmm?
