We will also Be poor ?? I thought we were...That's why we borrow from china

Cuba has no EPA regulations or OSHA to deal with

Yep......that's why so many take their jobs elsewhere. For example......you can go to 7/11 (Japan owned) and buy a popsicle (England) or some Budweiser (Belgium) and take it home and put them in your Frigidaire (Sweden). You can then go sit on your porch.....light up a Lucky Strike (England) and feed your dog some Purina (Switzerland). If you have any problems......talk to a call center based in India or the Philippines. If that doesn't chap your lips (Vaseline is based in England) nothing will. You are correct.....China owns a lot of our debt but most of our borrowing is owed to our own Soc. Security system......that's why it's going broke. At least I have my guns!

Yep, and my Chevy truck was built in Mexico. Oh well, better than driving a Ford or Dodge.

But for how much longer? The American voters figured out they can vote themselves money in the pocket and the same politicians have been nipping away at the gun laws. And with A. Scalia no longer on the Supreme Court- things do not look bright for the future of guns for self defense, a balanced budget nor a return to American greatness. We are being molded to fit the fold of most of the rest of the world- China excluded.

Forever.......our guns will never be taken away. There may be some restrictions.....ie....assault weapons.....clips.....registration etc....but I will always be able to legally own my hunting rifles and pistols......at least in my lifetime.

US workers can be more cost effective than Chinese, if not cheaper.

This Chinese Company Moved Production to South Carolina to Save Money - Real Time Economics - WSJ

wonder how much the US paid china to come.. We have a lot more companies leaving here for there, than there is companies leaving china, etc, coming here... If it were cheaper to make it here ,they would all still be here.. These companies aren't jumping ship(leaving the US) because it cost them more $$ to manufacture their products in other countries

Yep and if the TPP goes thru American workers in some industries can look forward to competing with $.65 an hour workers in Vietnam and some countries that allow actual slave labor...
