I am also curious.
We now have a completely unsustainable situation, where we are now nearly 20 trillion dollars in debt, we have exported half our industry or more, and all trends are to further extend the mess.
Trump is the (only) guy out there, saying the things I believe are true.
Everyone else, in both parties, is selling out our very own country.
Every one of them.
“Everyone else, in both parties, is selling out our very own country. Every one of them.”
But, they went to the right schools and are ‘intellectuals’..
John Stossel, who I generally like, once said: “So what if the factories are gone ? I don’t want my kids working in a ball bearing plant, do you ? It’s a good thing those smelly polluting industries can be done elsewhere.”
He is a libertarian and follows a pure free trade line which amount to Globalism. But the flaw should be obvious. When these industries are all gone, we are at the mercy of foreign countries. When we produce no products, there is nothing for those other countries to buy from us — so there is a huge pool of OUR money that can only be used to buy up our assets, real estate, companies, intellectual properties, media properties, etc. It leads directly to foreigners being our landlords, our employers, and generally the arbiters of our fate.
If the price of maintaining our own industrial base is that some of our kids have to work in hot smelly factories, that is by far the better decision.
