With a mixture of amusement and frustration.

I also note that everytime Chump comes up in Richard's posts, he can do no wrong. He has the economy, and employment at the best levels, and yet, all the wrongs are coming from elsewhere. The US is a victim of foreign trade, foreign intervention, foreign treaties of every kind. If you look at the military presence that the US has on a global basis, and the kind of energy devoted to that, and the race to find more oil, to consume more, to ignore ecological threats, these are all seen as good, and in your nation's interest.

Everything that is made in China is automatically crap. The fact is, the Chinese have only made these inroads possible through tremendous efforts, their competitive advantage due to lower labor costs doesn't begin to explain the fantastic thrust in development in that country. The world has now more wealthy, less desperate people because of that lunge forward, the same impulse that created the United States' unparalleled level of comfort.
For better or worse, the fact that we get products from China has been beneficial to most of us in a big way.
