At first after 1970 the cheaper imports tasted good, But gradually over time, the entire USA got broke. Husbands and then wives had to work to pay the bills. Foreign competition cause manufacturers to close. Lower wages lower profits net lower taxes and now we have a $35 trillion national debt.
All the above is why the democrats and rinos failed and Trump won. Its a shame he didn’t start running for office 10 or 20 years ago.
