Should the United States resume manufacturing goods instead of importing them from China?
it would be a good idea, the best analogy i can come up with is you buying flour, sugar, and baking soda from your nieghbor, while he only buys some suger… he’s getting 3x the amount of money from trades than you… if you keep buying like that you’ll soon be unable to purchase more resources… however, that’s a simple analogy, we can’t back out easily because we are quite far into trading with china. prices on many low cost consumer items would skyrocket if purchased elseware, and the people would simply vote in politicians that would resume trade with china.. a main problem is the debt invloved, that’s one sector i disagree with republicans… we’re spending like a company that has no credit limit, yet we’re several trillion into the red….
