The Ports Deal, and what else is being missed
Advertisements [?]
Aside from the UAE running our ports, we have had foreign interests already doing that anyway. Even China is in on this lucrative business of running our ports, that U.S. companies have no interest in. Why, and who really benefits by this?

Think about it. Where have a lot of American jobs gone?

Doesn't anyone find it odd that we have shipped our manufacturing jobs overseas, and now we have a massive amount of cheaper made imported goods coming into our ports and we even have to import foreign interests to manage the ports that the imports come into?

Not only has the Government allowed needed jobs to be exported, so we can import the same cheaper quality goods back into the country, but we do not even have any interest in the amount of imports flooding our country. The Citizens of this nation do not matter, and are only required to buy buy buy cheap imports that they were once paid to make here.

How do the American workers and citizens benefit by this policy, when they lose their jobs and now have to accept a cheaper quality product once made here, at the same price?
