It's called selective balance of trade.
The U.S. exports plenty of goods.
Fair enough!! Do you think the Republicans will be interested in that solution? That could be a worthwhile political platform but they won't do it. Both parties will do exactly what Monsanto, the energy companies, and wall street tells them to do.
The global economy and speculation has thrown the selective balance of trade under the bus.

Many of us know all that.
Why do you think some people are shouting.
People have short memories and listen to the MSM.
All this happened 5 years ago and people still don't get it.
China is the top *foreign* holder of U.S. loan debt in the form of U.S. Treasury security paper. They currently have over $1 trillion worth. They also *own* more than $3 trillion worth of American assets. And they have the *GAUL* to criticize ? Maybe it's time for Americans to *Re-Think* a few things?
...which is a fair assessment. It does do these things. I'm not criticizing, they are facts, and cannot be ignored.
...US (is) a civilian slayer, prisoner torturer and meddler in others' affairs...

We probably agree on most points.

sure, let me just invent something new that can be built here for the same peanuts an hour, on a 15-20 hour work day, like I can get in china.
never happen.
Remember, post 9/11, there was that big Made in America push? know why it never went anywhere? Same reason the green movement doesn't. Americans would love to buy american, and go green, so long as it costs the same, or less, than the than similar items produced in factory favorable nations, like china.
