We are not a piggy bank for other countries.


Because of it's huge and productive economy, the United Sates has become the consumer of last resort for pretty much all of the export driven economies in Asia, Europe, the Americas and the Middle East.

Exports to the US support and underwrite the Socialist governments in Europe and Asia as well finance the modernization and industrialization of the world's developing countries in the Third World,

Without exports to the US these foreign economies would implode.

However, because of the insane trade deals cut by our corrupt politicians over the last few decades, the US economy is being slowly bled as we ship our manufacturing and technology base and skilled labor over seas.

Our structural problems have been hidden by massive government borrowing, much of which is being spent to pay welfare cash to American workers who have lost their jobs and careers to the America's shipment of manufacturing and jobs overseas.

The money to float the US Government's massive borrowing comes recycled American dollars from our “Trade Partners” who are benefiting enormously from the crazy trade deals and who are desperate to fund American consumers who are propping up their economies

This is unsustainable and, unless the trend is reversed and the US disengages from these terrible deals , the entire world wide system will eventually collapse because America will be bankrupt and unable to borrow more money and the American economy will too bled to support the rest of the world's export driven economies

Trump is working to reverse the unsustainable bleeding of the US manufacturing base and put America's economy on a sound footing for long term growth and establishing economic independence in energy and critical industries in our manufacturing base so when the inevitable American government debt crisis hits, our economy will not be hostage to extortionate foreign suppliers and threatened by acts of economic warfare
