Good point.
Perhaps we should ask Mr Greenspan's bosses at the Bank for International Settlements what Mr Greenspan thinks about globalization.

That's a good point and IMO very true. We're a long way from being ready for any NWO or "global" community IMO. But it could help trigger things here nervertheless.
economic problems helped pave the way for Mussolinis seizure of dictatorial powers
Leave it to the little people to fix things while the "intellectuals" debate trade and finance. On the bright side IMO we may yet see a patriot-dictator. Kinda like the original angry American in the movie "Falling Down" only this time the hero wins because there are millions more of them.
Every nation over two-hundred years old is entitled to at least one patriot-dictator. I've been waiting for ours since the early 1970s -- it's long past time for cleaning our house of those who have "moved beyond being Americans."
Or, we could ask 'em over there to send our stuff back.
Or, we could just go along. To wit, nothing to see here, folks. Just another whining Bush hater. The Dims would make it worse. Come on! Let's hear it, "Free trade is good!" "Free trade is good!" Louder! Follow the line off the cliff . . . .
One more thing about the article
Then there is Henry Kissinger. Obliquely criticizing American trade policy at a conference last summer, he suggested that a nation that had lost its manufacturing base could not long remain a world power.
What was the rest of his statement, "Ve have it China?" Or did the Chi-coms terminate his lucrative contracts and now he's upset with them?
This is the problem, there are millions of educated and unemployed men and women who are barred from jobs without some long process of certification or licensing or jobs that are barred from entry because of unions. When I see government employees (with a HS education) making 50-100g's per year because their family has pull within the institution, I get angry. They call it networking, I call it illegal.
The streamlining of US Manufacturing is not the problem with the USA economy; it is the feudal factions in the public sector.
