Ron Paul was forced by a draft notice to go into the Air Force, he wanted to avoid Army service.

No central control.

No loss of freedom or autonomy.

Simply slap a tariff on everything imported from China. Let companies sort out the details.

Brainwashed...

In the 1930’s America was the world’s exporter.

We have now already lost our industry. We have everything to gain, and nothing left to lose in a trade war.

Let’s begin, shall we?

Fine I’m tied of arguing with numnuts like who live in 1950’s thinks all of the factories is somehow going magically comeback when we slap a huge tariff. Not going to happen..

It’s not off topic.

Trump is the only potential candidate talking about this.

It’s completely on topic.

We still have industry.. Most of the work is now automated and the factories is either moving to the south and right to work states..

For example Caterpillar built a factory in Texas..

Tariffs and closed markets seem to be working pretty well for China.

He said he was in college and then got a 1-Y deferrment which means he would have been draftable in an emergency. I too was in the first lottery and that’s when Trump got the 356 making the 1-Y classification moot.

That being said, I will go anywhere, anytime, to help when
a foreign power attacks America.

You are running late. 9/11/2001 is a hint. Mexican border is just to the South of here in case you haven’t heard of the invasion of this country. Libyans blew a plane out of the sky with Americans on it. Send me some sand from Tripoli!

“Gotta start somewhere.
I have heard exactly one. ONE politician in America today suggesting we start:
Donald Trump.”

Well, his figure may very well be correct, I am not an economist, and I do not even try to play one on FR.

I do know that it will be very hard to rekindle the work ethic in America, but, at least we have all those Mexicans that will work...right?

great, the press won’t even talk about obama’s selective service irregularities (e.g. an SSN that was from a state he never lived in, etc.), but knows that trump getting student deferrment then getting 1y deferment (not that anyone knows what for) is going to be a big deal. It is picking people off here right now, who have virtually no knowledge of the circumstances of his situation.

He apparently did finish school (unlike the perpetual undergrads I have read about). That right there says a lot.

By what year was it becoming clear that the war was so badly managed that going was not necessarily the smartest thing to specifically try to do? FYI, I think we are definitely well beyond that point in afghanistan now.
