J.D. Vance: ‘We Borrow Money from Chinese Peasants to Buy Things Chinese Peasants Manufacture’

EXCERPT:

VANCE: “We borrow money from Chinese peasants to buy the things those Chinese peasants manufacture. That is not a recipe for economic prosperity. It's not a recipe for low prices. And it's not a recipe for good jobs in the United States of America. For 40 years, we have gone down that pathway. We've seen closing factories. We've seen rising inflation. We've seen the cost of housing so high that most Americans can't afford to buy a home right now.”
