June 1, 2009 at 1:54 PM #408511nostradamusParticipantOh my goodness jp… If I were cruel I would go down that list with something to say about many items… I don’t feel like getting flamed today though.
Anyway to flu, China and Japan are probably the biggest fish to fry when it comes to trade imbalance. I don’t think jp is bashing, she’s stating the obvious. Made in China is ubiquitous (to coin a favorite word around here lately). On cheap labor, you’d think if the US was such a fan we wouldn’t have fat, lazy unions, social security, FICA, etc. attached to the cost of everything.
