yes, I do. If we keep borrowing money from China to buy cheap Chinese goods, then we are just digging the hole deeper for ourselves and hastening our own economic demise. I want to make sure they play by our rules in this country so that we don't lose jobs to China unnecessarily and I want them to float their currency for the same reason. That is necessarily going to lower imports and slow down trade between our countries. It's time for the US to realize that we're in a one sided economic war with China and we're losing because we're not even fighting right now. Oh and btw, you're fooling yourself when you don't acknowledge that the country that takes the lead in new renewable energy technologies will be the leading economic powerhouse of the next century. China already knows this. 40-45% of Americans, mostly GOP, don't acknowledge this yet. That's a serious disadvantage we have in this country...stupidity. But it's self-imposed. We can get over it and get focused.
