Political Cartoon

http://www.politicalcartoons.com/cartoon/2cbe53cf-17a2-4cf3-9a90-374b5d726393.html

This cartoon shows a family sitting down for thanksgiving dinner, one of them stating what they are thankful for. I found this cartoon funny because its completely true. Without us buying all of China's exports, what would we do? And on the other hand, if we stopped buying their goods, what would happen to their economy? When it comes down to it, we need China to provide us with goods and China needs us to provide them with money.

  1. I completely agree. Yes I understand we are more dependant on China but they are still very reliant on us and it annoys me when people forget this. The cartoon is very entertaining though and does reflect many Americans' views of China.

  2. I completely agree as well. Our dependence on foreign countries as become completely out of hand.. China owns us now, but then again we own them. What a silly system we have created

  3. This is true but by us buying pretty much all of our goods from china it lessens the American jobs. But if we did completely drop china from our source of goods, we would probably not make it. The reason is because we are used to paying cheaper prices, even though the product is not as good and with economic hard times can people afford the better American products?

  4. I agree. But don't forget that China also buys a lot from us too. It works both ways.
