I have often asked why we would trade with a country that hates us. I believe that they can put anything in the food they ship, in the soles of shoes that are activated by sweat, and so on to truly fuck us over.

Paranoid perhaps, but why allow this scenario to be a possibility? Just for cheaper good?

We live in a country that no longer produces anything..... what that means is our economic future will be getting worse, trade deficits will rise and we will be forced to continue to buy cheaper goods from countries that mean us harm, to which the possibility of those scenarios become more and more realities.
