Howdy:
I was having my free continental breakfast at a LaQuita in South Carolina a few years ago, the table next to me was an American and 5 chinese fellows.
The American was a BMW official of some type, discussing the sourcing of parts for BMW's to come from China. I laughed a little to myself, so much for your german car.
I am no economist, but I think that sometimes with a predatory country like China (to the whole world really) (all of europe has lost there factories to China also), and a military ENEMY, the USA (citizens)must:
a.rid itself of tax rules that encourage offshoring, and actually punish offshoring. Also, specific heavy tarriffs against this predator nation's imports.
b. rid itself of political influence from globalist corporations (and CEO's) that have no loyalty to the american values or workers.
c. rid itself of self destructive environmental and labor laws.
d. correct the education and cultural systems that do not value a production economy, and stop promoting a consumption economy.
