Hanging Ourselves

Are we hanging ourselves? I think we are. As a country I think that we are making it really hard on ourselves to be self sufficient if we import most of our goods and services from abroad.

I think retail outlets are too quick to exploit a country for their low wages and low cost of manufacturing goods without thinking of what it will do to our economy in the future. The people FOR going to 3rd World countries say that it is better for the US because we get low priced goods, thus keeping more money in our pocket, thus giving us the ability to spend more money, thus letting the Targets and Wal-Marts hire more people. I think this is flawed. Middle America is slowly being killed-a wound that drips making for a slow agonizing death-and small cities where a manufacturer was the biggest employer are being taken out of the map.

Also what is up with China? I just LOVE the hypocrisy of the United States. China is a Communist country and here we are allowing most of our manufacturing to be done there. They are spending billions of dollars (some of that money paid by American companies) on military training and weapons. Yesterday precisely, I heard on news radio that China has made an agreement with different countries where China lets them go in to manufacture in exchange for siding with them if China and US ever go into conflict. Australia is one of these countries. I say, What the FUCK?!!
