“In a 2009 article for Counterpunch magazine, titled “Pirates of the Mediterranean,” Roberts wrote that for 60 years, Israel has replicated “the 17th, 18th, and 19th century theft of American Indian lands by US settlers.” Roberts repeated accusations that Gaza is “the world largest concentration camp,” populated by people who were “driven out of Palestine so that Israel could steal their land.” He called the U.S. State Department a “puppet” of the Israelis and the U.S. a “puppet state” of the Israelis.”
Oh my.
We compare what led to American industrial and economic world leadership with current policies and the present crippling of our industries. We then objectively extrapolate the near-term outlook and risks for our country, businesses and individuals. When possible we offer solutions to our weakening economic condition.
Out of concern for America’s deteriorating economic condition, those responsible for EconomyInCrisis.org donate their expertise and time. Economy In Crisis does not support any political organization or corporate interest.
“EconomyinCrisis.org is packed with valuable information documenting America’s economic decline.” -Paul Craig Roberts, former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
“EconomyInCrisis.org is one of my favorite Web sites. It’s just a remarkable insightful look at what’s going on with our economy.”
-Thom Hartmann, Air America Radio
“EconomyInCrisis.org has the information that allows everyone to easily understand what is happening in the American and world economies.”
-Pat Choate, Economist and author
Looks like Paul Craig Roberts is a critic of the website not is backer. LOL
Milt - we can agree that most of what they say is nuts. But let’s not confuse Central_VA’s point with these people being nuts.
When I lurked and FREEPED during impeachment and joined FR during the Buchanan/Bush NH primary, it was primarily trade deals that got me to post articles and comments etc. There’s no doubt that the few of us here that warned against the WSJ’s GATT, WTO, NAFTA etc. - we’re correct insofar as non-reciprocal free trade would eventually be our undoing when coupled with endless war, open borders and a debt fueled welfare state.
It’s undeniable that we have much, much less to work with now than we had then. We had a balanced budget, we only owed a few trillion dollars, there was still a manufacturing base, there was still a work ethic. But we haven’t lost the game yet, there are still patriotic Americans, and were still running on enough fumes to get out of this. If we stop right now.
Duties and fees and tariffs are in the Constitution - Ricardo and Bastiat are not. Robert Bartley is not. Dogmatic Free Trade is not.
