Sure they do, they are just really ------- expensive because most of them are hand made, google "american made toys".

Its sad that alot of people blame buisnesses for outsourcing jobs overseas and expect them to have some sort of moral obligation to provide decent paying jobs here in america because there is a need for them, would you sell your products at a loss or reduced rate because the "needs" of society outweigh your personal need to make a decent profit? Why not?

Also the govenment plays a major role in pushing jobs overseas due to taxation, regulatory policies (think sarbaines oxley, my company spends about 1million dollars a year just to stay in compliant with sarbaines oxley ----, doing audits, etc.) and then theres the issue of import/export terrifs. So really the government is encouraging companies to move factories and jobs offshore, also people that bitch about jobs going overseas are the same people that shop at walmart and bitch about high prices of everything, this encourages companies to cut costs in order to increase their market share, bla bla.

You forgot to capitalize the word MAJOR. If there were a true free market here without government intervention and the chinx still looked like they had a strangle hold on taking over the market, I'd tax imports. As it is now, there's no real incentive to hire Americans, and no incentive to not import things. Both of these are controlled by the government, and they've fucked up. That's why I have a local, service based business. Try having a computer or a guy in india come paint your house. >:D The only way they effect local service is by opening up the borders, which they've done, but the mexicrats still aren't business owners, so they just work for me.

That is what makes America a Post Industrial Nation and China an Industrial Nation. What people cease to realize that China is going to pay later for how they are running their country. Hate government regulation all you want, but it makes sense sometimes. Do a video search on how the Chinese recycle old electronics. It's disgusting. Look at anything the Chinese do outside of big cities. Absolutely appalling. Their kids are going have 6 fingers and 12 toes and 7 tumors on their brain. All of this influx of money will end up being spent quickly to fix their absolutely band aided infrastructure.

China has 2 trillion in reserves, there economy is slowing but its expected to slow to a growth rate around 7-8% while the rest of us are going to be posting retractions, this means that while yes their ---- is pretty appalling they has the capital to subsidise their infrastrucure. Basically they can create jobss by hiring people to clean up the toxic waste in their rivers and so on, but this is by no means a reason to think that they are going to be limited in their influence on the rest of the world, from whom do you think our government is going to ask for help once our bond market bursts?
