Because we all ate that apple. We were led to buy cheaper consumer products from foreign nations that we used to buy from ourselves right here before 1970. This was wealth redistribution socialism on a global scale.
So we were literally led to share our wealth creating jobs with other nations that way. Now the USA has lower living standards, and related problems (plus a $24 trillion debt) and can’t afford sharing anymore.
The global gov’t Media conned everybody here too. But who cares anymore? The past resulted in the 2008 crash, and masses of immigrants flooding into the USA for a better life on a bigger sinking lifeboat.
They better create some new propaganda, to imply taking all the wealth creating jobs away from China and bring them here where they are needed. China can afford it now, to be a net importer, like they did to us. Also note the new standard tax on global corporations who were “getting away with” cherry picking, and playing both sides against the middle.
