I heard a similar discussion on Sirius radio the other day. The one I heard was talking about a specific American company (forgot which one) that makes air conditioners. Most of their air conditioners are made in Mexico. They were predicting a steep increase in prices if the company resumed making the air conditioners back in the States.

I remember reading in Motor Trend years ago, a guest article by Jay Leno about how machining has all been shipped over to China. Not just the jobs but the machines themselves. We literally do not have the high tech-high tolerance machining tools needed to make many products.

Simply not so, some of the most highly regarded machinery is made right here in the US!

Trade agreements are tremendously complicated, cars, clothes and cell phones are a perfect example. Products are built in other countries and once you start down the path of canceling agreements or adding restrictions it can do some real damage.

This is environmentalist doing their best to keep business out of the USA, while polluting other countries. Does Trump really own factories in China?


Strange, how this administration is the first to call out slavery from long ago, but has yet to address environmentalist and countries who use their people for slave labor still today.

No, just HIS goods being made by people working jobs HE sent to China from America while HE whines about others doing the same thing. Damn HYPOCRITE!
