If we can confront how our trade numbers paint a false picture, we’d be forced to look at the real drivers of our economic flux. True trade figures would reveal that China is not the issue, nor is any other country. Without China trade to blame for our issues, we could realize that the challenge lies not with China but with ourselves, and the world that our innovations have created. Americans invented most of the disruptive technologies that both make global supply chains possible and undermine traditional labor. If we got ourselves into whatever fix we are in, we can surely get ourselves out—but only if we stop looking for old dragons to slay abroad, bolstered by statistics firmly rooted in the past.

yes American Leaders got America into this situation .
but now this situation is a reality, pulling out of this hole isn't going to be easy. We created this for a purpose the ideal was to make the world better off and felt that once they were they could enjoy a broad world wide middle class.
Now that that has happened, we could become more isolationistic, but washington can't pass a budget or from that frame work deal with an appropiations plan, they won't deal with climate concerns or immigration policies or border concerns they can not agree on energy policy or any reality . they are now in complete gridlock and have been since 2010.
what one party wants even if was good for america the other party is compelled to appose, the split is so even that half america seems to be divided against the other half. " a house divided can not stand. " my lord stated this about 2,000 years ago. while we have for nearly 6 years delt with this. the world has gone about their business.
we have fallen to number two economy in June. no big press write ups about that. America seems to begin to understand that we are not being told the truth. we have no way to make right descision's because we are not given correct information.
we the ppl are blamed for horrors our government is doing, and we the people are responsible. But to try to explain this is hard ... but i will try our government can not even tell the government the truth. Information in washington is brokered, it is traded and then leveraged. this is how the city works. But the truth is never really revealed because exposure then makes the information worthless. black mail is buisiness as usual and long term political careers the only commodity that is ever tangible. Fine young men and women as freshmen congressmen and senators go to washington to fix our country, they campaign im going to change washington , when they get there washington changes them. because as soon as they get there they are already up for re-election, two years is a very short time to raise 5 million needed for re election campaign. on a quarter of a million dollar salary, they basically need 10 times there salary to run again in two years. back in the day become the lobbyists dream if you vote this way you get this amount that way this amount either way they vote they get election donations , now no if they obstruct any votes they get election money if they philibuster they get campaign contributions, because both party wants all three president, house and senate. and it is the other parties fault that nothing gets done. white house press releases is a story written intirely fiction. cspan and cspan2 senate and congressional hearings every other question is interupted this will be discussed in a classified briefing.
washington d.c. is way beyond a society with secrets it is now a truely an iternal secret society. incomes trump , with tone issues, he saying the truth but the press must edited this to a angle a spin a distortion. Because they are not journalists they are entertainers pandering to a base.
bottom line. here is a sense of reality. in WV five people were arrested for digging ginsing ( a wild plant) out of season, BP ruined the eco-system of the waters in western florida alabama missippi an new orleans the gulf of Mexico killing alot of endangered species 0 arrests.

I think this is wrong which leads to some of your other points being incorrect.
US is still the largest economy by far. GDP like 18 to 10 with China being a distant second. In fact, I think US is bigger than next 3 or 4 combined. The myth is that China will catch us in a few years if so and so and so and so keep happening. Maybe: maybe not. What do we always say: Say it out loud a couple of times. Then look at China's ecnomy now and see the issues they are dealing with.
I do agree with your gridlock point. The bigger issue there to me is that the issues are not as muddled as in the past. So now there are clear-cut drawn lines. Thus, people think there has to be compromise. The new definiton of 'compromise' is for the Republicans to always be the ones that give some. Now it is reaching a point where they are realizing they keep falling for the okey-doke.
I agree with most of the rest. But not sure on your initial point of the trade destabilizing---which I think is way, way overrated out of PC etc. etc.

Certainly don't voice it aloud for public and media to get a sound bite. But it is simply fact.
WHAT!!! That's exactly my point just as it is w Trump. Romney can rationalize all he wants, he made the statement as red meat and he didn't understand the implications. it clearly demonstrates that he was out of touch just like his idiotic statement about the middle class being 250,000 or whatever. Regardless of the truth. Why make the statement when it feeds into the democratic narrative, especially w Romney, that repubs r out of touch. Statements like that affect the independents even if they r not part of 47%
Same w Donny. The repubs did a formal study about how to avoid 2012 results. A primary finding was doing better w fastest growing demo. Gardner used it wisely in Colorado but donny, at the drop of his hat and merely to serve his own ego, managed to offend the entire demo. And again whether true or not is irrelevant. WHY go out of your way to insult them!!

All true. If you already know you aren't getting their votes you don't have to campaign there or cater to them. But never good to go out of your way to offend or isolate them. That makes you look bad to all. Then some that might have been on the fence for you may turn away.
