When the Sharks arrive, there&#x27;s no fish to catch, because the little fish scatter. &#xD;&#xA;The sharks have been eating the little fish for the previous 8 years. &#xD;&#xA;Now we have a nice Dolphin in the white house protecting the little fish. It&#x27;s time to kill the sharks, so the little fish can grow again, because if there are no little fish, the big fish can&#x27;t survive.

They turn from fish to leeches and then they die.

Who are the people that lost their jobs because of the gambles these guys took/allowed? Do they factor in to the Democratic vote? What about the widow of the fallen Marine/Soldier/Sailor/Airmen that votes Democrat for the rest of their life?  Because voting Republican once contributed to sending their husband to a needless war in Iraq. What is she represented by in this story? You&#x27;re right Apache. We should all vote Republican forever. They definitely have the candidates with the best ideas. Unfortunately they won&#x27;t nominate the candidate with the best ideas and most represents true Republican values. We should blindly back that party since they can&#x27;t even get it right either.

They spend their money on crap and superficial shit like cars. My friend works for the Post office. These people make 35-40K a yr and drive bmw&#x27;s and mercedes but cant afford a decent meal for their children. The vicious cycle is spawned to their children.

UberDog · Answer

&#xD;&#xA;No simple answer, but first and foremost, Chinese leaders made it a priority and backed it up by reinvesting in infrastructure. They cut impressive trade deals. They are also shrewd and shifty. They either pirated American technical secrets or embezzled patented intellectual property as a part of the deal for US companies to do business there. And just as Chinas was emegering as a major supplier of cheap goods, the buying power of American consumers was dropping as jobs here vanished. This made Chinese goods very attractive to the more expensive US-made alternatives. The Chinese government also subsidizes many industries,i.e. steel, trona, etc. so that they&#x27;re products hit the marketplace at much cheaper prices than American made. At the same, the U.S. Government has increased taxes on these same industries here making the spread even greater. It&#x27;s basically been an unfair playing field.
