Ross Perot got it partly right — “That sucking sound you hear are jobs [and capital] leaving the US.”
RE: But what if more of them start to leave?
The question is WHERE TO ?
Most countries are doing WORSE than the USA economy-wise.
Are they going to China ? where there is practically little freedom of speech ?
Are they going to India ? the Philippines ? They better think twice because they aren’t any better than the USA.
Our system is getting worse, no doubt about it. But it’s still a whole lot better than MOST other countries out there. The grass isn’t really any greener on the other side.
That giant sucking sound started after WWII.
