America’s Biggest Trade Export to China? Trash

Reader Comments

Is no one concerned with the fact that China is importing our reusable resources, and we are, stupidly, giving them away? How do we, for instance, stay in the car business without metal? Do we buy back our own metal resources for twice the price we got for metal when we sold it as "junk" to China? We are selling valuable U.S. resources to China under the guise of "junk." We will, very soon, be desperately in need of the junk we are presently selling offshore! Stupidity is spreading in the U.S.A.!

When Raegan attacked the american trade unions, or americas white-blue collar fair days work for a fair days pay, mentality. This single act removed americas industrial complex, and small family business communities, replacing it with a cartel of ologopolies, who get the trash made by slaves and sell it with hirelings ( US ) walmart americas largest employeer, pay its more than 3 million hirelings less than poverty level. We a nation under occupation by the lobbyst who run DC, are after a one world government, and a one brand economy.
The elitest billionaires who get their trash make by slaves, take the profits in 3rd world countries with no taxation, and pay the spiffy lawyers in the house and senate well, for their collusion.
Its time to restore american government, by referendum, not a ballot box stuffing charade of election by the criminality of the two sided cohen of government destroying our rights to life , liberty, and the persuit of happiness. We need to remove the house, senate, federal reserve, supreme court, NYSE, super delegates. electoral college, and use IBM's " Watson " to accumulate like suggestions of americas perception of government.
The fake free trade, more than 200,000 new statutes per year, installing lawyers/judges/ etc as virtual nobility can be eliminated, with a democratic government by and for the people, a government who protects the american way of life, restore the manufacturing companies stolen and exported to slave countries, tax slave made goods to remove our negative balance sheet, and have america make what it consumes, and export the rest, the same as other countries pretending to participate in free treade, a joke played on common america, where 2/3rds of all jobs are now near minimium wage. and homelessness of off the charts

It is amazing to know that China developed recycling technology for energy with "trash". I was asociated with some business associates developing a recycling plant in Washington,DC in early 1980'.The plant took care of 1/2 of the trash accumulated in DC.
As for the stimulus money "gone" to China, I am of the certain opinion that it was for the Americans who went to China to teach english($700 p/mo with free room and meals) and doing a lot better than what they could have done in the US. I understand that there thousands of them going every months. Certainly,China does not require stimulus money from US for its citizens to get a job. They have lots of "surplus" cash funds in China vis-a-vis rapidly growing economy - 12% beween Jan to May 2010. In fact, we owe almost $900 billion to China.

Keep in mind... how billions of tax dollars are ending up in Stimulus Projects benifitting workers in foreign countries... and how just today, the U.S. Senate rejected a Stimulus pitance for American seniors,disabled and veterans of $250/each).
Who is our Congress working for?

I beg to differ. We send more than just "trash" to China. Turns out we are sending millions of spendulous dollars to China as well.
Sen Casey (D) Pennsylvania went on the record to announce that 80% of $1.9 billion or $1.5 billion in stimulus money (read American tax dollars) that was to be used to fund American "green" energy jobs has INSTEAD gone to create jobs in foreign countries.
He went on further to explain that of the 80%, $450 million American tax dollars went specifically to China visa via a Texas wind energy firm. What the ____ is going on America! Here's more of the hope and change you all voted for. Glad to see communists chinese are staying employed and feeding their families. I suspect there were the "jobs" Obama refered to that were saved or created.
