When you can barbecue a car and/or computer to feed yourself, you let us all know.I showed you about the "multiplier effect" of a factory in the US. Manufacturing used to be 28% of the US economy, now its 12% and shrinking. You simply can't explain how manufacturing goods overseas "creates wealth" in the US. Think about the trade deficit and who has a surplus now and buys US debt? The US used to have the wealth, now its the manufacturing countries.
You have zero arguments that make any sense. So stick to name-calling, I won't even though it would be very easy.
What is the "multiplier effect" of a US factory? No such thing exists.
Agricultural used to be 90% of the U.S. economy. Now it is less than 10%. Guess what: we produce more agricultural goods now than ever. And we're richer.
So what about the trade surplus? We have run a trade deficit for almost all of our history, except post WW2. I don't see any ill effects so far. The U.S. is the wealthiest country in the world. Our economy dwarfs China's.
You make no argument. You point to disconnected 'facts" and then assume what you say is true. It isn't.
Similarly, if all US jobs are being sent overseas then how come our unemployment rate from 1992 on has been among the lowest on record? That was the very time outsourcing was increasing. Logic would dictate we would have permanently high unemployment, like France. We didnt.
We're "richer"????
Now THAT was fucking funny.
Delusional.
Yea, soybeans are better than cars and computers every single time. And the next time someone attacks us, we'll pop some corn in their direction.
Kook.
