Dow now down 434...? Thanks Obama!

Good. That's a healthy sign of sanity returning, because only a crazy person would think stocks were actually worth what they've been valued at over the last fifteen years.

Once stocks finally lose enough value and puts an end to the vampire leeches who've been enriching themselves at the expense of opportunity for those who have something real to contribute, then maybe we can then restart the economy on the basis of rewarding real work and real productivity.

This will mean that tarrifs will have to be placed on imported goods from countries that pollute and exploit workers.

There is no reason for American businesses with civilized, responsible treatment of the environment and of workers, to have to compete with companies employing workers who live in huts breathing polluted air and drinking polluted water.

Nor does it make sense to expend time, resources, precious energy, and to pollute the air and seas by schlepping this stuff across an ocean.

The cheap gizmos imported from overseas, are poor recompense for how small town America has been gutted by loss of jobs and for how that process is now extending to urban areas as white collar jobs are being replaced by the internet.

All that misery visited on Americans for the sake a few glittering trinkets.

Americans have been had in the same way Native Americans also sold their land--"The Heart of Everything that Is"--for a few glittering trinkets.
