GM and the Balance of Trade -- Ray was published in the American Thinker on Monday

Here's a selection:

The problem is not with importing foreign cars. It is the fact that we have huge trade deficits with China, Germany, and Japan, and trade deficits with Korea and Mexico. China, Germany, and Japan sell to us but do not buy enough from us, resulting in trade deficits and a decline of jobs in the U.S. Apple produces its major products in China and has closed its factories in the U.S. It is more Chinese than it is American. So are Hewlett-Packard and dozens of other American companies. There is nothing wrong with that so long as the countries in which they produce their products buy as much from us as we import from them. The five countries mentioned above do not. We have trade deficits with each of them, which has led to the loss of millions of job and a slowing of the growth of the U.S. economy.

Gentlemen,  Your book Balanced Trade is $66.50 on Amazon.  That is outrageous!  I bought it, but I am a balanced trade zealot.  I also wrote a favorable review, but very few people can afford to read it -- even if they want to. 

When that jackass, Harold Sirkin, of Boston Consulting Group published "The U.S. Manufacturing Renaissance," he put it on Kindle for FREE.  It was worth it too.  You can read my one-star review.  Even though his book was trash, he got several favorable reviews.

We need more and more people to become aware of "Balanced Trade" and your excellent proposal for implementation.  Could you possibly make the book a little more affordable?

Dear Bruce, We agree with you and were horrified at the price theyharged. They considered it an economic text and wanted to take advantarary of the college and college librackary market. We shall ask them for permission to publish it as a paperback which would sell at a bout $15. Thanks  for writing. Raymond Richman
