It’s part of the currency manipulation racket of northeastern U.S. import interests. The U.S. dollar is unnaturally internationally high with so little manufacturing on U.S. soil (not including American-”based” manufacturing on foreign soil).
Your argument is well reasoned, but there are two problems with it. First of all, the US engages in currency manipulation to a far greater extent than China. So it’s a case of the pot calling the kettle black when Trump and others complain about it. Second, Chinese currency manipulation is a form of theft from the citizens of China. I suppose we could thank the Chinese government for inflating away the savings of their poor peasants in order to make goods cheaper for American families. But surely there is a moral case to be made against it.
We are still on a conservative forum, aren't we?
I find it so funny that members on this forum have and still rail against the FED for QE1,2,3,4.... and then call China unfair. Do they not know that BRIC nations have railed against the US for years about our currency manipulation???
“It’s unbelievable to me that people can say that after reading his policies. Or they’re not reading them.”
I read it. Reads like a pro-America vs China trade policy to me. It’s goals are specific & concise.
What do you need to know that’s not listed in the policy?
I read an interesting book by Charles Gasparino. He said Goldman, Chase, and all the big banks and investment banks gave Obama many millions to get him started, because they wrote McCain off as a loony, who might very well turn on them.
He went into great detail, naming names, what they did, and how they did it.
Members on this forum rail against the federal government for all it does to hurt business, hamper markets and drive people out of the labor market. Yet knowing this (and they are correct), they think that China increasing the value of the Yuan a few points will cure all our ills.
I'm sure the US farmers would be happy to get screwed as long as you're OK with it.
George Washington was a protectionist. I guess he was no conservative. /sarc
Blame the Free Traitors ™ for causing this situation. There will be pain or socialist revolution. Which do you want?
Hey semimojo can you answer the question?
LOL..
(Sniffle) So at the Dem debate, it was a real tear-jerker when "kindly compassionate" Wall Street hater Bernie stoutly defended Hillary's criminality WRT her State Dept emails....as Hillary glowed w/ approval.
WE KNOW FOR SURE Bernie hates nasty Wall Street hogging all the wealth leaving the working classes w/ nothing but he really, really loves Hillary. NOW, I JUST CAN'T WAIT---Will be such fun to see Bernie defend THIS Hillary.
Then-US Sen Clinton and then-Sen Corzine on the Capitol steps.
EXHIBIT ONE Corzine was fresh out of Goldman Sachs executive suite, buying his NJ Senate seat office for $65 million; then buying the NJ governorship. Out of office, he ran a hedge fund where $1.5 B went missing....that employed both Bill Clinton and then-Secy of State Hillary's top aide Huma Abedin.
EXHIBIT TWO When Chelsea Clinton's husband started a hedge fund, he gained access to investors who had ties to the Clintons and to Goldman Sachs. Back in 2011, Mezvinsky, now 37, and two former Goldman Sachs'ers — Bennett Grau and Mark Mallon — began raising money for Mezvinsky's Eaglevale Partners LP hedge fund.
Some of Mezvinsky's investors included Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein. Wall Street Blankfein, a slavish Democrat supporter, said he had "always been a fan of Hillary Clinton." The WSJ reported extensively on the hedge fund's underperformance since its inception and Mezvinsky's mediocre investing and strategizing.
===========================================
EXHIBIT THREE Then-US Sen Jon Corzine (D-NJ), used his office to pass a special tax exemption for a Japanese bank he owned----his Goldman Sachs crony, Christopher Flowers---adminstrator of Sen Corzine's "blind trust"--- used Corzine's assets to takeover the Japanese bank.
LAUGH BREAK Corzine later said he "did not know" the legislation he sponsored "benefited" him.
================================================
There's a saying in Congress---"One hand washes the other. You vote for my bill; I vote for your bill." Did Hillary vote for Corzine's legislation....giving tax breaks for a Japanese bank Corzine's "blind trust" owned? And what other Wall Street deals did Corzine make w/ Hillary to enrich himself...and her?
"Bernie, I insist you go first."
ROTFLMAO.
Hey semimojo can you answer the question?
It doesn't matter which is more powerful (however you're defining it). Artificially inflating the price of those products only hurts the consumers of both countries and helps no one.
We aren't the only producer of wheat in the world and they aren't the only producer of TVs.

Man! This is no better than political porn!
At least Mezvinsky needn’t worry, as Hillary will arrange for his “recently” acquired cattle and cocoa futures to return 1,000% in 6 months : )
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, I seem to recall something about Corzine, N.J. and 17 billion missing dollars......
What’s your point?
I have to say it looks like you are taking the approach that since we did it first, we can’t say anything?
In three words ‘Blame America First’?
Hillary threw in w/ G/S a long time ago.
I just cant wait till Bernie finds out that Bill Clinton’s top WH presidential aide Rahm Emanuel was also a G/S lobbyist AT THE SAME TIME.
