Eliminate slave labor imports, hello hyperinflation.. Hello skyrocketing interest rates and hello to the end of life as we know it..

One thing the U.S. is really good at is exporting our inflation to other countries..

Sorry but its true..

Ship container loads of cheap unfixable consumer goods from Communist slave camps traded for American ethics, morals, dignity. How deep we are in debt in those areas.

Read the quote to Liberal.. If the quality is good and the price is right, people will line up to buy it..

Basing american capitalism on slave wages is nothing new. Following emancipation the US found wage slaves overseas. Convenient for the US to mutter "sad but true" from our pedestal. Precedence does not prove justification.

^^oh, the hand wringing, the guilt, give me a break :laugh:

Walk through your house, see how many overseas products there are. Did you feel the guilt as you made the purchase? Did you think of the Chinese factory with suicide nets around the perimeter? Doubtful. Most likely you bought on a price point, the balance of the best value and best quality you could afford and were happy with your purchase.

You'll do as everybody else is doing, keep buying the trinkets folks :thumbsup:

You're using the meth industry as a basis for your trade policy discussion? :crazy:

Well who peed in your oatmeal this morning?
Yep, I do own an IPhone also an iPad, they work wonderfully for what I need them for. So what does your Canadian phone do that an iPhone won't that I would need?

Meth industry?? What, you think I'm the Walter White of the transportation industry? :rofl:

Trade Policies that Benefit American Workers

"Since 2001 we have lost more than 60,000 factories in this country, and more than 4.9 million decent-paying manufacturing jobs. We must end our disastrous trade policies (NAFTA, CAFTA, PNTR with China, etc.) which enable corporate America to shut down plants in this country and move to China and other low-wage countries. We need to end the race to the bottom and develop trade policies which demand that American corporations create jobs here, and not abroad."
~Bernie Sanders

Maybe the Mayans were only a few years off, the end of the world is truly near!!
