jpinpb I think most who read this thread automatically knew you weren’t singling out China to be racist or anything. China is the big target these days, most assume its a support USA products thread, not a hit job on yellow people.
Like I’ve said many times before on similar threads, we do not have fair trade we have trade charity. Our Gov. is making friends and influencing people by giving away OUR jobs.
Free trade is cool and choice is cool. When it becomes so unfair and onesided that your jobs scoot out the window like teenagers on Friday night then you need to start steeering things back to fair.
Now is a good time to start getting proactive about China because they are just getting started. In a few years we’ll have Chinese cars and motorcycles taking market share and toys will be the least of our worries (that is IF we still have an auto industry to defend).
So what if by some crazy bizzaro world scenario the Gov. wants us downtrodden? Maybe Clinton, Bush and now Obama really just want more and more power and control, and a global economy full of just them and poor people, nothing inbetween, is their ideal world? Choosing to buy US products when we can is a chance to vote with our dollars everyday. It the one thing they can’t control because enterprising entreprenures will build in the US if people will seek out and buy that made in USA label.
Even without the CT it’s a good healthy thing for the US workers to be supported by their nieghbors and fellow countyfolk.
