Sorry Protesters: Your Jobs Are Being Sent To China And They Aren't Coming Back

Did you see the huge crowds of protesters that flooded the Michigan Capitol on Tuesday? They were there to protest two bills there were being considered by the state legislature that would limit the power of unions in the state. Michigan lawmakers approved the bills and this absolutely infuriated the protesters. There is a lot of passion on both sides of this debate, but I am afraid that both sides in this debate are missing the bigger picture. If we keep shipping millions of our jobs to China, there isn't going to be work for anyone no matter how much power unions have or don't have. During the month of October, the U.S. trade deficit increased to 42.2 billion dollars. Our trade with China accounted for most of that deficit. Our trade deficit with China in October increased to a new all-time one month record of 29.5 billion dollars. Nearly 30 billion dollars that could have gone to U.S. businesses and U.S. workers went to China instead. Since 1975, a total of about 8 trillion dollars that could have gone to U.S. businesses and U.S. workers went to the rest of the world instead. Shiny new factories are going up all over China, and meanwhile our once great manufacturing cities are degenerating into desolate wastelands. So what is going to happen when all of the good paying manufacturing jobs are gone? Are we all going to fight bitterly over whether we should unionize the low paying jobs that remain at places such as Wal-Mart and McDonalds? Such an approach is not going to bring back prosperity to America. We desperately need to start building things and start creating real wealth inside this country once again. We desperately need to stop sending tens of thousands of businesses, millions of jobs and trillions of dollars of our national wealth out of the country. Unfortunately, I don't see anyone out there holding protests about our trade deficit. Nobody really seems to care, so our economy will continue to bleed good jobs and the middle class will continue to be destroyed.

The funny thing is that the workers that are out there protesting these union bills actually voted for the politicians that are killing their jobs. Both parties are married to the one world economic system and the "free trade" agenda, and Barack Obama has been one of the worst offenders. He has been pushing for more "free trade agreements" throughout the past four years, and yet union workers continue to support him enthusiastically.

How foolish can they possibly be?

More at link above.

When the government spurs investment in $2 billion Brazilian oil, this is a good thing. Because American oil is bad.

What was once "up" is now "down" in America.

It's not about job security and money. It's about control of the populace. He who has the gold makes the rules.

And it's a damn good thing that we "saved" GM so that they can invests Billions building a Global Tech Center and manufacturing/assembly plants in China!

Bow down and be grateful, serfs!

For those who aren't aware of it, Karl Marx promoted 'Free Trade', i.e. the free movement of capital across national borders without giving any consideration to patriotism or ethics as a tool to speed up the onset of global communism.

Marx seems to have been a shrewd observer of the 'dark side' of human nature. He knew that corporations would chase cheap labor and lax environmental restrictions around the world until all of us us who work for a living were reduced to third world squalor. Then we would be ready to embrace hope and change aka global collectivism.

Many on the 'right' joined the 'left' in being blinded by the enormous profits to be made. They justified their actions by removing ethics from business decisions, citing jobs Americans 'can't or won't ' do, touting 'harmonization' of global standards of living with the implication the third world standard would rise to ours, citing Smith and Ricardo.

They never read or understood Adam Smith who was not fond of corporations nor trade treaties such as NAFTA, CAFTA, etc., and wrote of a world of small owner run businesses and their employees.

Ricardo admitted that 'comparative advantage' would not work if capital freely traversed the globe. He assumed patriotism would prevent that.

To top it off, 'Free Trade' Treaties over ride US immigration law and consideration of the current job situation and include the admission of 'guest workers'. These treaties are administered by the WTO, an unelected global bureaucracy. Cheap labor and cheap votes. What could go wrong?

Yes algernon, another "What could go wrong?" item! We are watching the Communist Manifesto and the "Goals of the Communist Party" play out before our eyes on a daily basis.
