I know this will not be a popular comment but it needs to be said. We now live in a world economy. That's the way it is and there is no changing that. It is my understanding that the Chinese worker spends 90% of his wages on lifes basics (food, clothing and shelter) and 10% on his wants. Here in the U.S. we spend 27% on basics and 73% on wants. You can pick these stats apart but you get the just of it. Now in China the workers need to live right next to their jobs so they have no comuting costs. Some even live at their place of employment in company furnished housing. Here many people live in the berbs or out in the country many miles from work. So the Chinese live where they have to and we live where we want to. Now you need to have a vehicle to drive to work and the wife needs one too. Then we also have the old truck with the plow on it that we also use for hunting. All these vehicles need to be maintained, we need to buy fuel and license and insurance for them. The chinese drive bicicles. To sum this up we need to lower our standard of living if you are going to compete with them for jobs. How can you expect one country to live so much better than the next when we are all competing for the same jobs. Don't get me wrong. I do not want to lower my standard of living. I worked very hard to get it here but I realize that in order to get jobs back here that is what we have to do. We say we are losing our jobs to the chinese because they are working so cheap but there are no more people starving to death over there then there are here so they must be getting paid enough to live. I bet they are just as wealthy as us because true wealth is not measured in dollars. I welcome your critisism of my opinion because I don't know, I'm just saying.

I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery.
