Better to pick a corporate executive who's experienced at offshoring and
buying consumer goods from China. They know how to boost employment -- in
other countries.


And Americans are willing to buy Chinese products. *Germans seem to be a bit better at not
cutting their own economic throat.


its not a "chinese" thing, but a cost thing. *Americans buy whatever is
cheap enough to afford.

Now if we could make things matching the prices of the Chicoms..we would
not be in this situation. *Which is indeed possible..but not when it
involves manual labor.



Maybe it is time for a bit of nationalism, the buy cheap while making a decent wage thing
has to come to an end or we are going to turn into a Greece or third world country.
