Since Free Traders believe that America should lower its standard of living to help the third world

158. All your arguments are for putting Americans out of work.

And your arguments are totally wrong.

Point by point:

1) China's unemployment in 2010 is 4% because they responded to the loss of 20 million jobs in 2008 with stimulus spending. Regardless, do YOU think that losing 20 million jobs is okay in any nation?

2) The second cite shows exactly what I wrote: the US is China's second biggest export market, at around 20%. That amounts to 10% of China's GDP.

3) The third "opinion" piece is well founded. And even if China becomes a market, American workers are locked out of jobs to serve that market. But Chinese workers have free reign to take American jobs. Do you not see the disconnect there?

4) The fourth cite absolutely supports my claim. Like all the others, but apparently even you couldn't spin it away.

5) The fifth does NOT contradict my premise. It shows that 70% of Canada's exports go here. What Canada THINKS it can continue to do, is irrelevant. If the US economy collapses that 70% will go away.

6) You claim the US economy will not collapse? Really? Name one economy that has ever survived long with a TRILLION dollar deficit year in and year out. ONE. Ask Europe how well its Euro currency is doing with all that debt. Go ahead, ask them.


You continue to argue in favor of putting Americans out of work. I am getting sick and tired of you refusing to address the sheer insensitivity of your arguments toward your own fellow citizens.

Why are you so incredibly frightened to tell America's jobless your argument that they should remain jobless to support the third world? I'm NOT going to let you get away with this. I will hound you with this every time you come into this thread.

Tariffs, now.
