China is our sworn enemy. Not the average person in China, but their government. China is the only nation that at this moment HAS NUCLEAR TIPPED MISSILE POINTED TOWARD US AND READY TO GO. And we are partially financing those missiles. Wake up. OF COURSE it matters that its with China. China is our sworn enemy. Not the average person in China, but their government.

But a certain number of jobs should be kept locally so as to ensure adequate employment, otherwise a good deal of companies will put jobs in places where they can more easily exploit the workers and get cheaper rates.

I have a trade deficit with Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Amazon.... but they're not complaining because they got my dollars in return. The Chinese don't have much use for those dollars in their own country, so they invest them back here, or just fund our government's fiscal irresponsibility in the form of T-bills! Yay!!! yep, a trade deficit is very different from a budget deficit.
