To add to what I said in my last post, because we are also mired in two wars right now in Iraq and especially in Afghanistan where there seems to be no end in sight for the moment, China could very well take this opportunity to call in our debt, refuse to help us with North Korea and also invade Taiwan. Under such a scenario, there is little or nothing we could do about it.
So we should continue on our current path, which will eventually lead to national ruin?... (or not so eventually, might only be a decade or so)
Seriously.
“Free trade” caused this mess. Every bit of it. Our factories are gone. Our skills are gone. Our jobs are gone. Reagan Democrats have abandoned the GOP, leading to a massive socialist takeover in America.
We’re increasingly broke. Industrially incapable. Unemployed. And losing all our useful technical skills.
Why do you suppose that is?... (asking rhetorically)
It’s not complicated: We sent them to China!
The GOP needs to become like Duncan Hunter. Aware of, and protective of, American STRENGTH.
Firing millions of Americans to spend what (used) to be our national wealth - to buy cheap crap from China, does not make America stronger.
Shut down imports.
Bring the factories back here.
Just do it. We have no other choice than to take a stand, which will not lead to inevitable eventual national collapse.
The current situation is leading just one way: toward strategic disaster.
Game, set, and match to the U.S.
Cheers!
