Hate to tell ya’ bud, but we borrow money from China because our government spends more than it takes in . . . not because of bullcrap Chinese screws.

And so doesn’t that create a situation where we feel we must placate the dragon?

I think it’s time for the Romney pac to get down and dirty. Run an ad with a clip of the angry Obama tape where he hugs Rev. wright. Run an ad tying him to frank Marshall Davis and bill Ayers. Assault his character just like they are doing to Romney. Time to put everything on the table. Screw the rats and the media.

I’ve never picked-up on that impression before, but I’ll give it a whirl.

Whenever I want to know the truth about something, I always turn to the ignorant union thugs of the AFL-CIO.

You got a problem with that?

You don’t know what you are talking about. I bought my entire new golf club set this year for under $1500 which has better quality and performance than anything I owned before, which was made in USA. If they tried to manufacture my new set in USA it will cost $4000+.

Every time I shop at Wal-Mart, I benefit enormously by buying goods made in cheap labor countries. I save literally thousands of dollars each year due to cheap imports.

Whoever thinks we can pay American labor 10 times foreign labor for ROUTINE AND LIMITED SKILL labor is a ivory tower socialist. People like me with 7 years of college and highly intensive training after that have no problem making high incomes. That is how it should be.

US leads in high tech manufacturing such as commercial and military planes, highly effective bio-pharmaceuticals, state of the art medical devices, world class computer software etc. People in those fields are making excellent salaries, as they should.

Days of low skilled labor making high wages are from an era long gone.

Romney hasn’t been with Bain for over ten yeas yet somehow he is still responsible for what they do.

Obastard has been president of the whole country for nearly 4 years and yet somehow he isn’t responsible for anything.

Ever think aboue what he meant by “The buck stops with you”? He means that HE isn’t responsible for anything and instead is passing the buck to the people telling them it’s THEIR responsibility.

Somehow those turned screws from China aren’t so cheap when we figure in the loaded cost of having to borrow from them.

I think we stopped borrowing from China when Baraq took office. Now they just have Bernanke and Geithner create it out of magic electrons.

If someone will work for .99 cents an hour then HIRE THEM!!!!!!!!!

What is so hard to understand here? If you had SKILL then you could demand more than .99 cents an hour!!!!! We do not owe you money to feed your family. If you can’t afford to support a family then DON’T HAVE ONE! If you can’t afford your residence, then you SHOULD NOT LIVE THERE.

I wouldn’t care if it was 25 cents an hour. Obama and his filthy democrats must be removed from power, period.

Why is so much “Made in China” crap coming here?

Because we keep buying it?

When the “average U.S. citizen” decides to invest in themselves instead of playing video games, watching “Real Housewives of ??”, watching football, baseball, American Idol, MMA, WWF, smoking pot, etc. etc. then I will have some sympathy for them losing to far more competitive populations around the world. The wealth of the country has created complacency, laziness, and socialism. The “average U.S. citizen” is throwing away the greatest gift given to man - freedom.

I argue with Lefties on Twitter so I’m used to that. Unfortunately, often I have to remind myself I’m not there and I have to be respectful when I read anti-Romney posts here. It’s frustrating.

Because most of the everyday stuff you can buy in Wal-Mart made in China requires LOW SKILLED labor on assembly lines. Give me one good ECONOMIC reason why low skilled American labor should be paid 10 to 20 times cheap labor countries?

If US puts up walls of tariff on low tech imports, our standard of living will take a nosedive.

Almost all of union labor performs LOW SKILLED labor which foreign labor can perform better and cheaper.
