Whats wrong with an import tax?

[Acanthus]

Are you talking to me Acanthus?

I'm against any recovery that involves "balancing" with China.

All of our previous recoveries we have completed ourself.

Winners and losers of an economic recovery are just that, winners and losers. Just like during economic good times, there are winners and losers.

The only thing that is different in this situation, is President Obama going to the Chinese and asking them for a "balanced" solution.

The Chinese have never been part of our situation, but now they rule.

Obama, will probably be willing to pay them a percent for "balanced" recovery.

Is that what you are asking?

How America cannot pull itself out of a recession? How we can't beat China in the trade war? How our debt is insurmountable? How children today have little to look forward to today, rather than being "contributing members of society?"

The problem is Chinas monetary policy and complete lack of a minimum wage or worker protections.

Either we make trade barriers, or we join their ridiculous standard. It's not all that complicated.

No, the problem is not China's monetary policy, it's not their lack of minimum wage, and it's not their lack of worker protection; that was the arguement President Obama was making this morning.

The problem is that America is getting its ass kicked, roundly, notably DUE to policies like Minimum Wage and Government Regulation, Environmentalists, Taxation and Spending out of Control, Insurmountable debt and living beyond our means.

Wait, were we talking about China's problems? Their only problem is hoping that they can get their money out of our markets.

You, and I mean this in the nicest possible way, are an idiot, if you really believe any of that.

You have chosen option 2 in my post.

I bet he can't explain why Germany fared much better than us

They have higher taxes, universal healthcare, more aggressive environmental protections, and paid the brunt of the funds to bail out it's neighbors from bankruptcy to save the Euro.

It couldn't possibly be that they don't have absolutely destructive trade with the 3rd world nations and actually have a manufacturing base.
