I agree. I would also state that if we put our minds to it, we could certainly balance our trade withing ten years. This issue is treated like a subject of humor most of the time, so it doesn’t receive the level of attention it should. One day we will pay for this IMO.
The major way we get trade imbalance is to dig up clean Western coal and burn it cleanly for electricity all over the USA. No more bullshit where we import natural gas to burn for electricity like y’all do in California. Then we -Federal Government- start major test projects to convert coal to
JET FUEL
DIESEL
HOME HEATING OIL
Our automobile fleet will have to gradually switch to diesel.
Add some nuclear power and that’s how we get rid of the Arabs. Only problem is the environmental traitors will block this plan at every turn
