No offense, Jeb, but I don’t think you’re the one to bring the optimism back.

If this poster were able to participate in an intelligent discussion of this issue, it would be one thing. If he ever was able to talk about anything else, it would be different.

But he’s capable of neither, or at least, not demonstrated either capability on this forum.

As for Trump and Kucinich, if you think either of them has the answer.......you’re wrong.

You guys jumped on me, for supporting American jobs.

Like a liberal, you went right to an emotional false choice straw bullsh-t argument. No one jumps on you for that. You get jumped on because you've yet to participate in a serious discussion about why we have this problem. No one's denying it's a problem. No one doesn't "support American jobs." Sorry dude, no martyr status for you today.

The biggest problem is that government refuses to stay out of business. Oppressive taxes and greedy, powerful unions are huge incentives for businesses to relocate.

What I see however is that our entire economy is now based on building up a massive communist nation which now has the second-largest military budget in the entire world. A communist nation with 4 or 5 times our own population. And nobody sees a darned thing about this, which is dangerous. Nobody.

Unlike others here, I'm not on FR enough to be familiar with your posting history.

But, it might be advisable to try to be realistic with your remarks.

When you say that "Nobody" is paying attention to our economic and political relationship with China, or, that you're the only one who understands the dangers, you're being ridiculous.

These topics have been discussed regularly here for years.

This type of hyperbole might be why some won't take you seriously.

Not intended as antagonism but just something to consider.

"Bring back jobs to America"

I would ask you why you think jobs are gone, but the last time folks posed that question to you, you said you weren't interested in discussing specifics and you left the thread.

If I go overboard at time trying to make my point, you go overboard in turn, advocating for the current mess, which has resulted in devastated American employment.

We each have a point of view.

I do not appear to be in the majority. Not even by a tiny fraction.

Both parties, and our entire industrial base, is currently in “sell out America” mode.

All I am saying is, bring back jobs.

Bring them back here.

Two points, if you please.

One, Cringing Negativism Network is the original poster. So it seems to me that he should be given some leeway in what he wants to say in his own posting.

Two, you are certainly correct about Trump and Kucinich not having the answers to the loss of American industry problem. Kucinich in particular is off-base (no surprise there).

But at least those two understand that a serious problem exists! It really does amaze me that no current politician has made this a central issue.

You still have no clue why jobs leave. You don’t understand the tiniest thing about it.

I’ve created hundreds and hundreds of jobs, and gotten rid of some too. I know why both events happen. You know nothing of the dynamics. Nothing. For all the hundreds or thousands of posts you’ve made on this topic, you’ve learned zip zero nada. That’s sad.

And booooooring. And not productive.

I guess you're not familiar with this poster's history - thus you cannot understand my context. It is not just this post. And I would add this - I gave him leeway - and then I took my own leeway to shoot him down. That's how a message board works.

My history is recently about two major items:

Sarah Palin, and American employment.

I have no problem, emphasising those two items at the moment.

The topics are fine. Your ignorance on the topics is boring.

Tell me then.

At the moment we are losing our global manufacturing lead to China, who now has the second largest military budget on the entire planet, and which is rapidly gaining ground on our own military budget.

China is headed for global supremacy.

At what point, do we bring back American manufacturing?

(this is a question not just directed at you, it is meant for everyone in America, in both political parties)

We are currently headed for a catastrophe.

At least, that is what it appears to me. America doesn’t make stuff anymore.

We just support the “world”.

Support America.

Are you pro-union, or anti-union? If you are not anti-union, you are part of the problem.

America doesn’t make stuff anymore.

And why is that? Exactly?

The pessimism jeb notices is the pessimism that arises from his possibly running for president. How far the country has fallen that he might be seen as a “leader”.

The thought of another Clinton vs Bush election makes me pretty damn pessimistic.

Jeb Bush’s answer is to flood the country with another 100 million Social service sucking parasites from central America that will work for 1.50 an hour.
