I’m not saying China hacking our system is correct (it’s not) but when I hear politician, Obama and both Democrat and Republicans talking about ways to “make the playing field level” for the American manufacture I have to cringe. They are clueless and are so far out of touch with small business production and manufacturing. I deal with China for my product and a few other parts I require. Tomorrow if China gets pissed off and hold my parts and product or raises pricing (they can on the spot) and I can’t do anything about it, legally I helpless. America has give China our tooling, dies, molding and technology and we can never get it back. Politician lack the knowledge of what is required to build anything.
When political parties talk about China and what they are going to do “Make the playing field level” they better first put in to play a way to finance American manufacturing to re-tool America for production.
Note: One part of my product cost me $30,000 in China that same part to be tooled, die and molded locally would have cost me $300,000.00.
I and thousand of other business like mine can’t afford re-tooling of our product, we would be out of business for ever. The domino would just continue to drop.
Note: China could stop production of one part and in 2 months the production of cars, truck, oil rigs, boats, buses, generators and planes would come to a stop. That one part would take America an additional 2 months to retool and start production at a cost of $450,000 not including production cost and materials. That just one item/part think about…. China has America by the short hair and the politicians are clueless.
Obama you keep fucking around you will not have a working teleprompter in 2 months mofo.
