‘Industrial Policy’ Is Back: The West Dusts Off Old Idea to Counter China

[Jack]

China is a strategic foe. simple national security means we dont buy (crappy) carriers from China

Again, I think you are missing the point.

The Point is 'Government Interference' in supposedly 'Free Markets'. Where is your Priority?
Is the non-existent 'Pure Capitalism' your mantra, even though that doesn't exist except in your Fantasy World (the Sugar Lobby and the subsidies to the Sugar Industry should make you clearly aware of this).
Or is the viability of USA as a World Leader in Western Democracy and Social Values your Priority, whatever it takes?

I have no interest in China having the US by the Balls like Saudi Arabia and OPEC had us in the Past. I have zero interest in letting an Authoritarian State be the World Leader. China has 2 million Censors monitoring their Internet, is that what you want for America and the rest of the World?

[Jack]

china should have never been allowed to trade with the west.

why do american "free marketeers" love chinese mercantilism so much?


were they just shortsighted and excited about cheap slave goods? apparently, yes.

stupid imbeciles.

Capitalism depends on Consumers. 1.5 billion Chinese tells you why Capitalists LOVE China.

Arizona only faces a water shortage for two reasons:

California and agriculture within the state.

The second can be fixed by changing things like how crops are watered like using drip irrigation rather than central pivot for example. We can't do anything about the idiocrasy of California.

Do you think the American Government building the Hoover Dam was a Good Idea?

"The history of federal involvement in dam construction goes back at
least to the 1820s, when the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers built wing dams
to improve navigation on the Ohio River. The work expanded after the Civil
War, when Congress authorized the Corps to build storage dams on the upper
Mississippi River and regulatory dams to aid navigation on the Ohio River. In
1902, when Congress established the Bureau of Reclamation (then called the
“Reclamation Service”), the role of the federal government increased dramatically.
Subsequently, large Bureau of Reclamation dams dotted the Western landscape."

There is a little something for everybody. Dukkha loves the fact that the Chinese will buy our Soybean crops. I'm not sure, but I think Dukkha envisions America being the 'Food Basket' for China. Of course, the Chinese have bigger plans, much bigger plans.

See. Look at this and think '1.5 billion Chinese':

I live in a world of human beings who have other values besides maximizing profit.

you're a lost and demoralized idiot, pretending your shit values are wisdom.

Wait just one cotton pickin minute....for like 30 years I was promised that I dont need to worry about China, they cant innovate.

What happened to that story?

Poof?

Good. You agree that some things shouldn't be left to 'the Private sector' to get things done.
I will stop here and not bring up the Interstate Highway System.
