And why are you so scared of the Chinese? I thought you said we can compete with anybody.

On a level playing field. Don't twist my words. I stated clearly in this thread that we can not compete with the using those methods without using those methods.

So they have not become the 2nd largest economy in the world?


The average annual private sector wage in china is around 7k a year. That the kind of economy you want?

OMG... Seriously.. Horrible argument.

Placing a tariff on a nation who is cheating and trying to drive the USA out of business is not going to cause the USA to have wages of 7K

What I stated is a fact. From 1990 to today they went from not top 10 the TOP economy in the world PER Bloomberg.

I will agree with you that Globalization has resulted in overall job loss and tremendously reduced wages for the US workers since the '70's.

Also, our buying power for staples like food and housing has been reduced.....but electronics are cheaper and cars are both better and cheaper.

These new tariffs don't really address China now, do they?
