“...A nation cannot export jobs, capital, and technology for decades and expect to stay on top.”

What you say is true. But we’ve been down before.

Once the dollar is no longer the international reserve currency the SHTF - assuredly.

But the Muslim fools who caused 9/11 expected the U.S.A. to crumble. We did not oblige them by doing so.

Everyone seems to underate us. Europeans never expected the U.S. to make it after the Civil War, but we fought a war with Spain, then with China, then WWI and came out stronger than ever.

During the Depression we were hit with a debilitating environmental catastrophe causing a “dust bowl” in the Midwest, and all while paying very high taxes. Then came the attack on Pearl Harbor and WWII. Still, we came out stronger.

As you probably guess, I don’t see this as necessarily a bad situation but an opportunity.

We should chuck the United Nations off our shores, for starters, and the IMF after them. Hey, they won’t need our dollars anymore, now will they?

I do not support isolationism, but I know this nation can be energy independent.

I know we can feed ourselves and export any leftovers.

I know we have technological know-how. Hell, that’s why the Chinese are always stealing ideas from us!

Are there people who will riot? Sure, but they riot after football and basketball games. So what!

Right now we need some time to get ourselves reorganized along Constitutional constructs and change to a tax system that is either Flat or Fair.

We must bring our military home from policing the rest of the world. I’m sure you’ve noticed the rest of the world really doesn’t appreciate our efforts.

Screw ‘em.

We can launch the Third Industrial Revolution without the rest of the world. We’ve had the technology for thirty years. Then laugh hysterically watching other nations try to catch up from their failed experiment in the socialist utopia known as ‘Globalism’.
