“Republicans and Democrats, liberals as well as conservatives, have bought into anti-Chinese trade demagoguery.”
We’re getting hosed. Our manufacturing used to be the envy of the world and more than paid our expenses. Now most of the products that we seem to be able to purchase (affordably) are made in China, with American names and we are so poor the ChiComs are loaning US money.
That is how I see our trading with China is working.
Pet peeve of mine, sorry. Are you poor because you purchased a Honda over a Ford, or because you spent money you don't have?
Just curious. Would it then suit you if we were loaning China US tax dollars to buy American-made hammers?
