Is There A Trade Issue?

From the Daily Agitator

We hear all the hub-bub about how China is steal our economy and as such stealing our cash…..China is being demonized from all quarters….from the Right and from the Left….and then there are the moderates they are on board with the trashing….we can trash and trash and China will still out preform us with some sort of intervention by the state…..but what to do?  What to do?

First a little background……China has a high percentage of the rare earth minerals….those minerals that are used in cellphones, computers and a bunch more electronic gear…..it is fine for say, an American company to mine these minerals in China….but if you mine their minerals you must also process and refine those in the country….you must build a refinery and hire local people before you are allowed to export the finished product…..

Now for a new plan……since just about everything you touch these days is made in China…..why not tell China that they can make anything they want for export to the US….but if it has to be assembled then they must build an assembly plant in the US and hire local people to do the assembly…….may not be the best idea but at least we would be trying to do something to pick up our economy……

Of course, that would mean that companies like Walmart would crap all over themselves and fight any such attempts with all their influence and cash….but the time has come to put aside corporate influence and find a way to create more jobs in this country….the corporations and the government owe the American people a working chance to survive…..

  1. Good thought, but the truth is that American (and British) workers are less efficient, slower and more costly – so, why would anyone in their right mind DO that?

    You’d get far more bitching from US citizens who then couldn’t afford to buy a new TV etc. that was either as good or as cheap, than you ever would off of the Chinese who are looking more and more towards Asia and South America as its premier markets anyway.

    Your plan is, I’m afraid, doomed 😈

    1. Of course it is doomed….there is NO body in this country that is serious about anything but their precious gas prices…….we are truly little insignificant toads……
