    From your grammar, I would guess you are not an english-speaker and not an American. That means your posts about America are not factual. They are just rants (a rant is a crazy opinion).

    I have an American children that is enough for me. There is no need to be native english-speaker to see the stupidity.
    (Actually this forum is International and United States internal affairs affect whole world). Your rant is more then inappropriate. It actually reflects low level of education.

    Americans will never work for Chinese wages, so the only option would be to pay them more, and pass the cost to the consumer. Likewise, the cost of tariffs is passed to the American consumer.

    So, we have made very few gains and are WAY below 1980s numbers, and we are supposed to celebrate it as some kind of victory.

    Now you are beginning to get the idea

    We want Americans to have decent jobs instead of sitting around on welfare

    Working minimum wage doing factory work is not a decent job, and the obvious problem is that the nation as whole would be worse off, since purchasing power of the working / middle class would be severely reduced.

    How can you support such policies and call yourself a conservative? Such government manipulation is the exact opposite of conservatism.

    Drawing a welfare check is better?

    Manufacturing jobs are not all low wage

    And many of those jobs involve vital skills that the nation needs

    China understands the importance of manufacturing

    Why are libs in America so clueless?

    The Trump argument is that everyone who wants to work today already has a job, or can easily find a job, so who is going to sit at an assembly lines? Illegal aliens?

    Why are the fake conservatives aka authoritarian neo-cons in America so clueless?

    Maybe the womens studies graduate working at Starbucks for $10 an hour would like to make more money

    In fact there are plenty of Americans who are under employed and need better jobs

    We had tariffs

    One of the issues of the Civil War was the south wanting low tariffs and the north wanting high tariffs to keep imported goods out of America
