95. It is not a competition when our government allows the huge trade imbalance.
We can not compete building computers because India has a huge tariff while we have near to nothing. Their is nothing fair about this trade. When our companies have to meet environmental standards and Chinese companies, they can sell cheaper. Not fair. If we can tell our manufacturers they have to build products safe, then we need to tell our consumers they are required to buy products that are safe. China builds products containing lead because it is cheaper. You call that competition? We cant compete with that.
