“If we had not exported jobs to China, we would still be in the catbird seat.
See that is what the problem is.
Post after post on this board does not identify the problem.
China.
China is not a free trade state. China is predatory, and only sells goods.”
I don’t see this as too big an issue. The global economy is changing and the United States needs to change with it. Just like the phrase “you can’t out-Walmart Walmart” you can’t “out-China China”.
We need to SPECIALIZE in something. China “specializes” in cheap mfg and labor. We have to improve our science & technology programs in our schools to bring up fresh, innovative thinking. Like it or not, cheap labor is here to stay. If it wasn’t China, it would be Mexico. Even our “American” cars are made is Mexico.
No you are wrong.
China specializes in exports.
Increasingly good exports.
And in NOT buying imports.
That is leading to a very bad conclusion to the current state of being.
