RE: Shipment of Tanks out of Texas Posting
RE: Shipment of Tanks out of Texas PostingI never thought about the US trade deficit in that light. I wonder just what level weapon exports have to get to in order to level out the deficit. That would have a huge impact the the US dollar, and on energy use.
But if China's exports are so cheap, wouldn't that pertain to weapons too? What is the difference in price between comparable main battle tanks. Could the US face steep competition from China in this catagory? Will US defense contractors have to build factories in China to build US arms at a lower cost in order to deliver higher earnings to their shareholders?
