I infer motive from the inattention given to the lives of the children in whose names such bans are imposed.

Yes, everyone has seen it. And no one is listening to you. So losing the battle over deficits, why not throw in with aggressive nationalists?

If China says future planes it buys should at least be produced with some local labor and some transfer of tech, why should US labor oppose this?

I am not to blame for the dear ears your calls for deficits have fallen on or why there has not been a real Keynesian in an important position for at least 20 years (according to James K Galbraith). Frustrated, you guys at the EPI are about to throw in with a Buchananish labor movement.
