Do you have any character at all??????? IS liberalism pupre force and violence, and no regard for facts and logic?? Are you proud of yourself?? Do you think you represent liberalism well??
Eddie, you are the ones with no facts, and even less common sense. The US has lead the world in manufacturing since before WWII. Now it does not. China is now #1 in the world. You aren't concerned about this but other people are.
First and foremost, China has taken over production of the world's consumer goods, something the US used to do. Now China leads the world in textile manufacturing (clothing), electronics, and consumer goods - areas where the US used to lead. They're catching up on cars as well.
The US still leads in military hardware, simply because the patents can't leave the US for strategic reasons. If you take out the military industrial complex, what does the US have left? What happens to US manufacturing when the military isn't involved in a major offensive?
