The US do need to understand why other nations export more than the US. I can tell you one reason, the US products are very American-centric and many products do not consider the reality of the foreign markets. I'm not talking military, commercial jets, drugs, etc, but more basic industrial and commercial products. They tend to be geared to the US market and US infrastructure reality.
Regarding the price to the US consumer of buying cheap, I don't think people understand the price to this society of having large swathes un/underemployed. The price is very high in terms of welfare, drug, crime and general decay and disenchantment within society.
What do you think is behind the Trump juggernaut? Don't blame Trump, don't blame the people, don't blame the victim!!! You of all, should understand this and what it means. You throw people under the bus due to race. Newt G was the best champion for prison reform, Trump is the best for blue-collar employment! You despise them cuz they are "White"!! Pastor Manning is correct about the likes of you!!
Trump is not a juggernaut. He is an old diesel powered by a third of gullible, marginally educated Republican electorate, hobbling along and dragging the remaining two thirds who hate him over the cliff. It is why they are so intent to save them selves and hope they can derail this derelict vehicle before they fall over.
Well, maybe has more punch than the old clown powered from bio-diesel fermented from maniok root.
And, how come you got missed!!
This far, the derail ain't happen!!!
Who cares? It is not a worry for progressives! It is the GOP trying to save their souls. Trump is going to get beaten in November for sure. Hilliary is going to do a stormdance on his head.
