Do the research on any figures related to manufacturing output, and you'll see how contradictory your post is. You claim the Red Chinese have four times more manufacturing workers than the entire U.S. labor pool, and yet the industrial output of the two nations is almost the same. I find it hard to believe that China has the most advanced manufacturing facilities in the world if their productivity is so poor.
The U.S. isn't really selling out to these competitors at all. The U.S. is simply being eclipsed by them, as many of these larger, faster-growing nations will likely surpass the U.S. over time almost as a natural series of events. When you refer to "high-tech manufacturing that used to be done in the U.S.," you speak as if the U.S. had some kind of manifest destiny that would have kept it at the forefront of the world until the end of time. That's just delusional thinking. One of the dirty little secrets of our modern world is that a lot of the manufacturing that is done in Asia isn't even aimed at supporting a major consumer market in the U.S. anymore. Some of these countries are exporting more to other Asian trading partners than they are to us.

Competitors!?! Its US Corporations that are shutting down operations in the United States and moving overseas and using US taxpayer money to do it! A Sunoco refinery near where I live was shutdown recently. The now jobless men were on TV crying, wonder how they were going to feed their families. The refinery is to be dismantled and rebuilt in India all with a helping hand. These are American corporations and American politicians that are screwing over American citizens!

You're goddamn right we did and it was the job of the federal government to protect it the best it could not use taxpayer money to give it away to our enemies.

US consumers don't have the purchasing power they once did because their jobs were shipped to Asia.

The Asians have the purchasing power because they have the jobs that we used to.
Free Traitors have ruined this country. All you have to do is look around and see whats happening here and see whats happening in the countries the Free Traitors sent the jobs to. When American Patriots take the federal government back there are going to be mass trials and Free Traitors are going to be put in the dock, found guilty of treason, and sent to the gallows.
I’d also point out that Germany has not sold out its people by moving its jobs to Red China. She has kept its high tech “automated” manufacturing, has high employment, and has a trade surplus. What’s the difference between Germany and the USA. Free Traitors have not ruined Germany.
