I'm not a Tea Partier or even a conservative but I do admire a section of the Tea Party.

Some Tea Partiers have shown me they are concerned about the economy especially concerned about preventing overspending.

If we keep outsourcing the government has to keep spending to float the economy and take care of people who can't get any jobs because they have all gone to CHINA!

A world where we can keep outsourcing like we are doing and also cut spending is a fantasy world!

@shinli00

You WANT all our jobs to go overseas?!

I agree we need foreign trade and should continue foreign trade. But all this outsourcing has gotten ridiculous.

Free trade isn't really free at all when CUNTries like China don't play fair. Lead paint on toys is not fair. Manipulating currencies is not fair. Ignoring their own citizens health and safety and polluting OUR air to make cheaper products(sure we do that too but China is worse) is not fair.

What we need is fair trade, period

What happed to the pride of owning or using American made products that we once had? Personally I'm willing to pay a little more knowing its American Made and knowing that the money I bought the product with is staying in this country of ours. It makes me uneasy seeing our limited job supply decrease and watch them all go over seas as our people are loosing them and none are being made. Our poverty population is growing at an astonishing rate that concerns me for our future generations.

Remove all the bogus EPA regs. Let American business compete! Remove the taxes that prevent US companies bring back money they earned over seas!

Stop you're bitching, do something about it it! Vote for Tea Party Candidates that want to clean house! Cut the fat! Severe the union influence!

[shinli00]

What's really interesting is when times get tough, we start blaming others especially those that look different! You lefties are all alike- the German's national socialist party (Nazi) led by Hitler blamed the Jews. Face it, we made US business difficult to compete in this global environment. We were too rich and started down the path of public ally funded programs. Now we are paying for it. on's influence that dragged own our auto industry! We need to go back to basics and tell it like it is.

I am not from the Chinese government. You immediate jump to personal attacks when losing on the debate.

[shinli00]

I agree that China doesn't follow the rules; however, crying about it when they have you over a barrel is not wise. They are the one buying our treasuries

[melling99]

China does not follow the rules of fair/free trade. In China there are no rules to protect consumers, workers or the environment. Why are we buying products from a country that behaves so poorly. Workers are trapped in a system with no safety net. Workers will not be consumers; they can't afford to spend. They make just enough to survive, anything extra must be put away for their old age, or for a time when they cannot work. They get one holiday per year to go back home to see their family.

@shinli00 You must be from Chinese Government
