But those credits are still real economic activity, that will put money into Russia and stimulate growth. It does not matter that they are mearly selling imaginary items for no productive reason.
Again, this is service and support for the industry and banking sectors in the cities, blue and red. How many tens of millions of ranchers are there?
Actually, every day the trade deficit hits all time highs. You're right.
Here is where I part ways with ya.
There are three industries the world depends on. Mining, Logging, and Farming..or minerals, forest products, and ag. if you should so choose.
Without even one of those, we all cease to exsist as a society. And all three are under the most severe of eco attack.
Can you or anyone exsist without the materials and products these produce for our every day life in this age-or any age for that matter?
Without the industries that utilize them, we wouldn't have mining or logging.
The best part is the EU in a desperate attempt to kill US industry, bribed the Russians into signing Kyoto and taking their (EU) money.
The weird part is Russia did not want to sign Kyoto, they had to have their arm twisted to do it. Without Russia, there was no Kyoto, so Russia actually gave the EU an easy out where they could have blamed the US for Kyoto not being ratified. The EU would be off the hook. But instead, the dimwits convinced Russia to sign and hung themselves in the process. So much for anybody claiming that these socialists are smart.
I don’t remember exactly, but there were a lot of lawsuits flying around. I think it was a collective action representing people claiming that they were either billed excessively by her “psychics” or some kind of predatorily behavior with frequent callbacks.
The final straw came a few months later when it was uncovered that she was from the US (Illinois I think), not Jamaca, and the accent was a phony as it sounded. I guess she just took the money and retired.
I made no threats. Merely stated a conviction based on observations.
Thankfully, God is merciful to all who truly seek him out of a sincere heart. I am needy and thankful of such mercy.
BTW, I think
"interpretation" is a very wrong term for a lot of those prophecies.
Just reading the newspaper headlines and the Biblical prophecy is quite sufficient to see the 1:1 correltion on some of them. NO interpretation needed.
Ahhh, I see. Then we should take into account Great Britains slide over the 20th century when it virtually lost all its raw material sites over the world should'nt we?
When you havent the materials that are/were logged or mined, then there are no materials to make products from now is there..so then, no need for manufacturing facilities.
Keep in mind that those plants find it by in far cheaper and easier to simply move close in to the areas that supply those raw materials.
BTW. IP, Stora Enso and a couple others have announced billion 's' dollar 's' plant investments for Brasil in the next years. IP will announce its intentions to do the same in Russia very soon. So, they intend to move where the wood is since our eco-creep friends have virtually locked up all those natural resources here in the USA.
Are you prepaired to move to Brasil or South America? That is where our manufacturing plants are moving to.
And it's one sorry state of affairs.
And yet..the American people like the sheep they have become, think that all is well, just let us have our enjoyment.
Look how many free traitors and neocon(artists) come on this site to instantly defend it all.
Japan had been doing pretty darn well with next to nothing. They import just about everything: oil, metal, etc. They are capable of thriving nonetheless, although, it's easier if you have the raw materials to begin with.
Our main problem with manufacturing is governmental: an anti-profit tax structure and a legal minefield.
We should also unleash our timber industry and oil. We need to encourage mining, particularly in the Escalante Staircase. We should deregulate windmills and tidal generators as much as possible, too.
Combine that with fewer lawsuits and the national sales tax, and we will be an economic dynamo.
