I didn't say don't expand, what I did say was, don't let them close here to open there for the same selling price. The price did not drop when it was cheaply made, (sorry made cheaper) in another country. So are we really better off? Of course we need trade goods from other places, but it seems it is always at our workers expense. We pay $50-$60 plus for a shirt made in Asia. What should that shirt really sell for when wages there are so small? That is my point. Made with cheaper labour then sell cheaper. You would probably sell more and thus make more. Yes the population is small and spread out, but should we let our politicians keep us working into June before we have any money ourselves. The car companies would sell more cars per year is they sold at what they should be priced at. Our politicians missed out on that point and they will do so again.
