It took from 1865 to 1988 for the United States to build the industrial infrastructure that was the envy of the world and the foundation of the largest and most prosperous middle class in history. It took only 20 years for three Presidents — George H.W. Bush, William Jefferson Clinton, and George W. Bush — to pursue the “free” trade and financial deregulation policies that dismantled the manufacturing base and created the economy of debt that is now unwinding. Obama isn’t helping matters but he is a newcomer to the scene and will soon have to take accountability for his contribution to the decline of a once great nation.

Absolutely! The last three administrations, along with the bulk of our Congress and Judiciary have served their global masters well! If we do not recognize the role of Globalism, and so-called "free trade" we are lost.
