We get more value out of the WTO than we lose to outsourcing. Free trade is an overall net positive, even if it sometimes hurts individual sectors. A lot of out sourcing isn't actually even cost effective, but is simply the result of our idiotic fantasy land MBA driven cost cutting business culture.
How long of a run till free trade starts payin off ? How long must i wait for free trade to be good for me? and why Do you have to say ," In the long run".? Why cant you say now? If its good Bro why aint it F$%^ing good now? Stop saying what someone else did because its what everybody does.
Free trade is not good in any run long or short. 1. how do you deal with the a communist country that has a closed economic system and totalitarian millatary regime to keep the profits in the system for advancing the causes of the Communist political sysytem? so you trade into a closed system and to benefit you goobers they buy your treasurys. Ok I call that Economic warfare and your loosing ; but your a free trader. Say it with me. Let it roll off your lips and push it out into the air with your tounge- Free Trader, FREE TRADER, Freeeee Traaader,; Ummm God-thats soooooooo ohhhhh yehhh.

The romanticism of Capitalism- it is that simple.
Where is the manufacturing? Not here in the US. Why do you buy the less expensive products made overseas? Probably because they are less expensive.
What about outsourcing jobs to India? To other countries?
Why do companies do that? Labor is less expensive!
Companies go where labor is cheap! We go to where products are cheap!
------
Now, will US made products ever be as cheap as other countries? Nope.
Will US labor ever be as cheap as other countries? Nope.
------
Will the US survive with companies outsourcing jobs?
Will the US survive with imports that are half the price as ours?
------
Bottom Line..... should the US government provide heavy tariffs to US companies when they do outsource their jobs to another country?
Should there be heavy tariffs on MOST imported products?
Yes, they should. Corporate ********ers need to pay out their greedy corporate assholes when the send American jobs to some 3rd world **** hole.
Arrrgh, cheap goods are BAD!
I'm on the fence about this.
On the one hand I want American jobs protected.
On the other hand this may hurt the poor as prices will rise to make the difference and then we are stuck with the same problem. .
Yeah I bet everything must have been pretty damn expensive before companies started outsroucing left and right to China and India.
More expensive than it is now. Don't forget that when those jobs leave us that we still have high paying jobs to go to.
Are you going to tell me that average salary has fallen because of free trade?
Because that just makes absolutely no economic sense.
What kind of jobs replaced the ones that outsourced?
Depends what that job was replaced with.
It makes perfect sense if the factory worker is now working for wal-mart or some other low wage job because the factory he was working at was outsourced or if the factories that didn't leave can just threaten to outsource.
Thomas Sowell said:Those who complain loudly about how many jobs have been “exported” to other countries because of international free trade totally ignore all the jobs that have been imported to the American economy because of that same free trade. Siemens alone employs tens of thousands of American workers, and Toyota has already produced its ten millionth car in the United States. Management guru Peter Drucker has said that this country imports far more jobs than it exports, and no one has contradicted him. Indeed, those who are loudest in denouncing the exporting of jobs totally ignore the importing of jobs.
Free international trade produces both the benefits of increased productivity and the adjustment problems that all other forms of increased productivity produce—namely, job losses in the less competitive firms and industries. The typewriter industry was devastated by the rise of the computer, as the horse and buggy industry was devastated by the rise of the automobile. Histories of the industrial revolution lament the plight of the hand-loom weavers when power looms were introduced.
It seems that, so FAR, the majority doesnt want, or understand how important Tariffs are to American jobs.
You want to put American workers OUT of work? Tear down tariffs and support over-seas production. You want to support the American Economy??? Provide tariffs!
Companies are getting away with killing our industry! I HAAATE Unions greed too. But there MUST be a middle ground! :soap
Arrrgh, cheap goods are BAD!
hey....HEY! Yo! My Italian heritage says read this: :slapme:
I love your opinions but youre wrong.
The only way out for America is to manufacture and export but now business will want you to compete with un-unionised slave labour from China. Welcome to unrestrained markets, capitalism at its finest and building castles in the sky.
Yet we've all been growing richer. Explain.
I think you are failing to realise the mess your country is in, it isn't because of protectionism or welfare bums. Ironically the mess you are in is directly attributable to libertarian economic policies.
Your fooling yourself on that.
