No merde Sherlock! It is the idiocy of the U.S. Federal Government that is screwing U.S. Manufacturers. If anyone truly wishes to visually see what all businesses face in terms of compliance, go either online or to your local library and try to read all the rules contained in the actual TITLES of the CODE of FEDERAL REGULATIONS…IT’S A TWO YEAR PROCESS UNLESS YOU SHOOT YOURSELF FIRST TO STOP THE AGONY.

The simple fact is we, taxpayers and voters, go though hell trying to get politicians to believe in “CAPITALISM: THE UNKNOWN IDEAL” They, except for a few, do not want CAPITALISM.

I suggest that everyone should take a look at George Friedman’s books, i.e. THE NEXT TEN YEARS & THE NEXT 100 YEARS.

Masses of Low-skilled labor pools? Not the answer! Our U.S. Government must get out of the way…ASAP.

China is doing what is best for them. The U.S. government IS NOT DOING THE BEST FOR ITS CITIZENS.

And if “evil” Hu Jintao tries to raise his prices, then Rajiv Chandreskhar will take over the business … that is how capitalism works.

1. All imported commodities are classified in the HTSUS. 2. The TARIFF DUTY RATES are there as well.
3. If China is doing something “bad”, ANTI-DUMPING and COUNTER-VAILING Duties can be applied, Special Trade Agreements can be negated, Duty Rates can be increased, etc.

Since global trading takes place each and every day, why do some of these guys / gals have a look of surprise upon their faces?

My suggestion is for the FedGov to unleash U.S. industry, mining, drilling, etc. and get the hell out of the way. The Free Market Capitalist System – even though there is some pain now – can crush the opposition. BET ON IT! VOTE FOR RON PAUL!!

JH – Has good ol boys credentials of politics as usual

NG – He does make some good points, but his record is you can not trust him to stand by what he says

RS – would probably be better off if he would tone down the religious aspect of darn near every thing he brings up

Ron Paul .. THE MAN ! nuff said

MR – he has Corrupt Capitalist written all over him

RP – Tricky Ricky as I have stated many times is the dumbest all hat no cattle Texas politico ever …. I chuckle every time that he proves me right LOLLLL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FOUND THE TEXT LINK !!! http://www.cnbc.com/id/45074943

Santorum: Some have suggested we need to go into a trade war with China and have tariffs. That just taxes you. I don’t want to tax you. I want to create an atmosphere where businesses and manufacturers can be profitable. We’ll lower taxes, repatriating funds, 0 percent tax if you repatriate those funds and invest them in plant and equipment.

—– Later in the debate came “the China question” —

HARWOOD: Mr. Cain, let me ask you a question, under a Republican governor, the state of California hired a company in China to build major portions in the new San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, creating thousands of jobs in China. And California did that because it was cheaper. Is that smart, purchasing by government in a global economy, or is there something wrong with that?

CAIN: There’s something wrong that, which is why I have proposed a bold plan, 999…
(LAUGHTER)

… Quickly followed by Mitt doing his “get tough with China act” the Newt making a point about America becoming more competitive followed by ….

BARTIROMO: Time. Thirty seconds. Jon Huntsman, you were the ambassador to China, 30 seconds to respond.

HUNTSMAN: Thirty seconds? For Heaven’s sake. Let me just say that we’ve had a 40-year relationship with China. It’s a — it’s a troublesome and problematic relationship, very, very complicated.
But the bottom line is, I mean, you can give applause lines and you can kind of pander here and there. You start a trade war if you start slapping tariffs randomly on Chinese products based upon currency manipulation. That’s not a good idea.
But longer term, we’re just going to have to keep doing business the way we’ve always done, is sit down, you find solutions to the problems, and you move forward. It isn’t easy. It isn’t glamorous. It’s grinding it out the way we’ve done for 40 years. And for 40 more years, we’re going to have to do it the same way.

HARWOOD: Are you saying Governor Romney’s pandering?

HUNTSMAN: I’m saying that you can throw out applause lines and you can say that you’re going to slap on tariffs. You know, that doesn’t work…

For all the internet, media, etc. – you would think that THE TEXT WOULD BE AVAILABLE on-line! Oh well.

SPOT ON!!!!

Of course he turned out to be a dud. Rick Perry the same thing. An even bigger dud. I love Michelle Bachmann but realize she won’t get to first base because the powers that be don’t want her, Herman Cain, a good guy who is being run out of political town on a rail, is not Presidential material. Santorum might be OK but is farther in the shadows than Bachmann. Huntsman, a mealy mouthed “democrat in sheeps clothing”. The darling of Republican establishment, just like Romney. Romney? Another DISC. The co-darling of the Republican establishment and the candidate the Democrats media suck-ups seem to support the most. This leaves us with Newt. The original snake oil salesman with so many warts on his
nose that a lesser candidate would not have even attempted to run. However an ugly girl at 9:00 pm starts to look better and better the more drinks you have. By closing time she looks like Raquel Welch and she wants to go home with you. The closer to closing time it gets the better Newt looks. Pardon me now, I have to go check my head for rocks.
