There’s no other way to keep this debt regime going at all. The only way to provide enough revenues to sustain the enormous government, would be to have an enormous manufacturing base.
The only other way is to tank the dollar enough to bring a huge manufacturing base back to the USA in order to export to other countries. With a very low dollar, foreigners would buy products from us.
I have been through the depression days starting in 1929. I know what it is for parents to go begging for days old bread and powdered milk. I know how an immigrant mother was torn between independence and joining a union to get labor for what is due. I know how and why such a population of citizens will go to war to hold on to a belief that the USA in spite of such struggles was by far the best of nations. I know what it is like for a fresh 18 year old to go overseas to fight an enemy that killed my only brother on Okinawa. I know what it is like to come away from war with only the G I bill to give me a way for a better future. I know that if one chooses a course of life that fits their capabilities they can have a good life in this USA. However. I do not know or understand how politicians and their cronies can speak of job creation without telling what jobs they are talking about. These people only blow to the winds and easily beguiled populace. Let them lift up the USA (and I deliberately refrain from using America)by speaking to the ways and means the USA will maintain It’s exceptionalism. Obviously energy independence is out front, but how many new and even unthought of happenings/products are being ignored. We need to know where and for what the jobs all the hucksters talk about.
