Did anyone hear Donald Trump today? He said he would deal with China by imposing a 25% tax on imports and make them free float their currency.
China owns the US. They own our debt and the US can keep the government going because China buys our debt.
Yes, I am talking about the Race to Nowhere. We had a screening at our school. The US has fewer and fewer options for our kids. If you have a solution, perhaps you might have a solution for our unemployment problem too because the president and his advisors don't have one.
I am willing to put my kid in the race because I want her to go somewhere. Somewhere she wants to go and I am fearful that she won't have options because of where this country is heading.
I asked her if she wanted to take Mandarin because China was going to be the world power when she grew up. And she decided she would so she would have options.
To me, the title Race to Nowhere is really telling. Our kids have nowhere to go. I want my kid to end up somewhere.
The world has changed.
