U.S. manufacturing wasn’t in bad shape up to about the year 2000. That’s when a lot of manufacturing plants started to close and massive job losses began. What happened that year to cause this decline?

Before the year 2000, China’s trade status had to be renewed annually by Congress. The renewal was always controversial and uncertain. So companies were reluctant to invest in China or send work there because they were never sure they would be able to bring in Chinese-manufactured products. But in 2000, Congress enacted a law that gave China permanent normal trade relations. That meant the uncertainty was gone. Companies started making investments in China because they knew the trade status was permanent. And in 2001, China became part of the World Trade Organization (WTO). These two events started massive manufacturing-job losses in the U.S.

Congress, hmmmm, 2000? Who was in charge of congress?

Thought so.

a liberal lacks the IQ to understand free trade. He wants every person in the world to make everything he consumes so as not to be damaged by trade.

That shows you how dangerous liberalism is and how it is based in pure ignorance.

And since 2008, this has been Obama's 6-year recovery...

But how could this be?

Free trade is not necessarily fair trade and what we have is definitely not fair.

Republicans keep saying everything that happens during Obama's terms means he OWNS it. The jobs left while Bush was president and Republicans controlled both houses.

THAT MEANS REPUBLICANS OWN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know it wasn't the same president that signed the agreement that we leave Iraq. Republicans say Obama owns that agreement even though he didn't sign it. And that it was a big mistake to remove the troops.

Since Republicans in both houses overwhelmingly signed that trade agreement, you know Bush would have signed it anyway. Don't pretend he wouldn't have. So it doesn't really matter who signed it. It was going to be passed anyway.

Are you finished now, troll?

. The jobs left while Bush was president and Republicans controlled both houses.

dear, we began importing cheaper, better Japanese cars in the 70's because Americans wanted to own superior cars!! Americans own it!!!

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

Since Republicans in both houses overwhelmingly signed that trade agreement,

so completely stupid and liberal !! The liberal wants no free trade agreements so every individual, state, and country will have to produce everything it consumers. Its a formula for instant and universal extreme poverty but the liberal lacks the brains to know it.

 

[eagle1462010]

Free Trade is BS.............It has cost us millions of jobs and it is a miserable failure.

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

Free Trade is BS.............It has cost us millions of jobs and it is a miserable failure.

so do want every person or state to make everything he/it consumes in order to eliminate trade?

That's interstate commerce and has no bearing on trading with other countries who have laughable standards, and workers who work for a bowl of rice.

Tariffs on foreign goods to equalize the offsets in lower regulations, to protect jobs in this country. It worked for over 200 years until a bunch of dumb asses said it was broken.

so what!!! its unfair for a rich state like CT to have to compete with a poor state like Alabama- right? Let CT ban free trade-right!!

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

. It worked for over 200 years .

of course it didn't you poor liberal fool!! Americans were going broke buying Detroit union junk , for example!! If you make competition illegal our products get worse and worse, not world class, and our country drops like a stone, we get poorer and poorer!!

Do you understand your ABC's now?

 

[eagle1462010]

LOL

Ed calling me a liberal..............ROFL

Your confusing yourself by pushing interstate competition over foreign competition. We've had Free Trade in this country forever..........Not so much when we allow 3rd World countries sell their goods here without tariffs.
