How much of that is the strength of our currency relative to theirs?
Are you going to attempt the same sidestpe with China too? Do you think I'll run out of examples of the US getting pwned by bad trade deals and nations who don't import as much as WE do?
Nope. asking about your opinion on Canada. China artificially lowers the value of their currency.
Perhaps.. but the numbers show that the US is getting the short end of the stick with massive trade deficits all day long. And has for 20 years. This is why the whole "free trade' shit is nothing more than a ruse used by greedy fucks whose wallets are more important than the nation crumbling around them. By throwing the middle class under the bus for the sake of "competitiveness" with a fucking Chinese sweat shop the US is weakened economically all the way around the block. Our collective cunsuming ability is gutted as capitalistas cry about fucking HEALTH insurance while looking for any way to drive the cost of labor down to the cost that, again, slave shops enjoy. Sure, dude.. we'd be pretty fucking competitive making Nikes if we paid labor 1 dollar an hour to work 25 hours a day... But are you a fool enough to think this WONT impact our cultural standard of living by lowering it to that enjoyed by Chinese sweat shop slaves?
