I shouldn't, I shouldn't, I shouldn't, but here we go...
It doesn't matter if Dan is from Canada or Bangledesh (?). We only have one world to live in. What do you want to leave for your grandkids?
As far as overseas production goes, most of this stuff is made to the U.S. based corporations designs and specs. Quality control is still the responsibility of the company outsourcing the part. I absolutely believe in supporting American companies and American workers. I am not however going to cut off my nose to spite my face. I have to eat. I have to pay for my housing. I have people that depend on me. I can't do those things effectively if I spend all of my hard earned money supporting unions and overbearing government regulations.
Sure you could impose higher tarriffs on imported products. It's been done. Harley sniveled loud and hard to the Feds when the Japanese started importing cruiser motorcycles to the states. Three things happened. The cost of the import bikes went up. The Japanese companies started assembly of the bikes on domestic soil, (which added employment to local communities, but profits still went overseas). And the Harley was still an inferior product from a quality standpoint. Oh, and number four, the big cruiser bikes got farther away from the average joe budget.
I'm curious, if the Chinese produce nothing but garbage, why are we so concerned about their military?
