If having an industrial policy is a bad thing to do, why do countries that have them do so well economically?

When you find yourself in a contest, losers want to change the rules so the winner’s strategy is forbidden.

Aspiring winners look at the winning strategy and figure out how to adapt it to their style of play.

Since when did the USA decide to take on the role of loser? “It’s just not fair, the other player’s strategy is better than mine.  Make him stop.”

right on Queenie

A better idea would be to tax the effing companies that move production offshore. Tax them until they cry uncle (Sam). Where are our kids and grandkids going to work? Not everyone can afford college. We have to start producing goods here with good pay. A man has got to have a job for crissake!

So the Chinese are selling us stuff at too low a price.  That really makes me mad.  I wish they would raise the prices of all the stuff they sell us.

Are they selling stuff for less than it costs them?  How come they are getting so rich then?

Remember what China did to Japan over a fishing boat incident?  They cut off their access to lithium used in all the lithium batteries.

None of this adds up.  There is some truth out there that needs to be dug up.

Until the truth comes out, I will consider this behavior of our government to be a smoke screen for what is actually going on.  I am not about to applaud the House of Representatives for continuing to try to pull the wool over my eyes.

The Chinese just put tariffs on U.S. chicken imports to China of up to 106%.

I think this is a good idea to impose tariffs and equalize the offshoring losses to our tax base that America is presently suffering.
