what is it your more worried about, the worlds economy or fellow americans and eating? See, that was what the election was about that you all just don't seem to understand. I mean I understand why you don't get it, but it is why it ended up the way it did.BULLDOG They have to compete with the businesses that exist and American consumerism is precluded to purchasing the cheapest version. That's actually what drove companies /out/ of the country, competition and the need for cheaper labor. When the 35% increase is passed to consumers by those businesses who wish to stay in say China, then the American companies will have the cheaper price again and thus will be naturally selected by the consumer. When said company in China loses enough of their "share" of the market, they will be then forced to move back into America to compete. There might be a momentary increase in costs on some items (electronics I presume will go up for a bit) but I don't think it'll last long, companies cannot afford to lose the American consumer.
Where will you find American made appliances and electronics, or even bluejeans for God's sake? Lots of stuff just isn't made here any more. I believe some of it can come back, but not by throwing the entire world's economy into a tailspin.
If you say so. It will be interesting watching what happens next.
