The logic escapes me but you can lead a horse to water.Please lemme know any ideas you may have that will get my people back to work and even hire more at good wages also. thanks Chris

You're suggesting that we refuse to buy the many millions of products we import from China?! Do you realize just how difficult that kind of boycott would be? Most of the stuff we buy from Walmart and other discount stores are imported from China and other foreign countries. Our appliances, clothes, furniture, and common hosehold products are all imported from countries with cheap labor. By suggesting we boycott China would be like saying we should boycott Walmart and other national chains! What the government can do is pass legislation to prevent more companies from going overseas, but the ones that are already over there aren't moving back anytime soon.
