We subsidized Canada's existence only for them to become a Chinese client state for pennies on the dollar.This is a great discussion.
We helped Mexico and they have abused it. They fucked us thanks to Clinton, Bush, BO and countless idiots in congress who have never run a company. We helped Panama and they abused it. Canada? Same thing. They have taken terrible advantage of the American citizens and it has cost us trillions in employment and innovation. Don't get me started on how much we pay for American invented drugs compared to all the countries around the world who have benefited and pay a cheaper price. That reason alone is why I hate big pharma. I have had numerous friends who can purchase even cancer fighting drugs internationally at a fraction of the cost we pay here in the US even though it was invented her. Back in the early 90's we didn't have drugs like Pepcid AC but i could buy it in El Salvador for $4.00 for 25 tablets. I still can't get it here for that. The best anti-acid product on the market but the FDA didn't allow it until the early to mid 90's. I also hate the FDA. I would come back with 4000 tablets and give to my friends.
China is a different situation. They use communism slave labor to force their cheap products down our throats. Yes, it is the American people who have consumed and enjoyed cheap Tupperware type products. They have stolen trillions of tech and patented technology in thousands of inventions and products from us. We buy them, We have to stop even though it will mean higher prices for their goods. We have to produce state side and let industry produce it cheaper and cheaper with automation. That is the cure for China.
This is not simple but common sense.
Yeah, it's time to put them in their place.
