I have never seen our country trashed like it has for the last 6 or 7 years. No rule of law and everyone making a buck off someone. Disgusting.
I woke up early this morning and turned TV on to A&E. They had some kind of school type program on about the history of the common market after world war 2. They told how France and Germany got together and started producing steel and sharing in the profits. Then the common market increased to 6 countries and did the same thing. Now this was in the 1950s. They showed the workers crossing the borders from country to country for work and how successful allof this was for Europe. They went on to say how these countries are no longer independent but each has to be interdependent on each other. The way I understood it, interdependency is mandated.
The main thing they didn’t say was how much money the American taxpayer gave to countries like France and Germany after the war and lets not forget Japan. I doubt any of these countries would have been successful without free money from the American taxpayer.
Sorry about my rant, I have just been PO’ed all day about this.
It's a good rant, don't worry about it. I find myself PO'ed more and more, it's starting to be a habit with me.
They don’t talk about how the American taxpayer is funding all the ‘interdependency’ being forced on the world. It never stopped with the Marshall plan, it just got a he** of a lot more expensive.
I know how you feel.
