So you want the US to be more like China? Sorry kiddo, I prefer to be more like present day Germany.
I'm never said I wanted anything, I'm simply asking a question about where jobs went and why. I think it's a simple question with a simple answer.
Also, China may have a lot of catchup to do when it comes to workers rights and human rights overall. But in economic terms, China's manufacturing sector has blown Germany out of the water in terms of growth over the past 20 years.
You can wish for present day Germany, and guess what, you would just as unlikely get a manufacturing job there as you would in the U.S.
??? My premise is that this person has zero left after paying the exorbitant rent, keeping the lights turned on and eating. Maybe they also have a student loan garnishment. The greater part of moving cost for this person will be the cost to move into housing, e.g. the required rent, deposits and fees, and usually cannot be waived or deferred.
Been there, done that, and worked my way out of it by increasing my skills.
Let's not forget that the red states have a higher poverty rate than blue ones AND take more money from the Federal government than they receive.
I am conservative as are most people that live in my area. We live in a blue states. Obviously the people in the poverty stricken cities did a pretty good job of outproducing us on the tax payers dime and oh we don't have a law requiring a voter ID either.
Using red state, blue state in an attempt to attack conservatives is crap.

Pffft... tell that to the clowns who constantly post right-wing lunacy on this forum, trying to "prove" that "liberals" are the problem because of places like Detroit. If we're going to point to examples of failed leadership, they have to answer up for the entire Old Confederacy.
The all-red, all Republican / Tea Party deep south is a poverty riddled basketcase. Own it, Mr. Proud Conservative.

I am still waiting for you to tell me how much a dishwasher is worth in Seattle.
