No, I look at the big picture, and see the cost of lost jobs, money lost in unemployment benefits, and lost tax revenue that could have funded our military and space program but instead funds China's. When you factor all of that and more, that $.25 you save on a Chinese made toothbrush doesn't sound like such a bargain.
but the types of immediate choices you are talking about rarely exist in real stores.
That's not always the case. In the hardware store, I'm always finding American made choices, and I choose to make it profitable to keep those jobs here by buying them. That's one example.
Completely agree.
We need to equalize out our imports, and our exports.
We have wildly overdone imports, and now we need to bring back American jobs.
America needs jobs.
Jobs.
