Boiled down to the one reason.

“Western thinking has become conservative:
the world situation should stay as it is at any cost;
there should be no changes. ....
The communist regime in the East could stand and grow due to the enthusiastic support
from an enormous number of Western intellectuals who felt a kinship and refused to see
communism's crimes. And when they no longer could do so, they tried to justify them. In
our Eastern countries, communism has suffered a complete ideological defeat; it is zero
and less than zero. But Western intellectuals still look at it with interest and with
empathy, and this is precisely what makes it so immensely difficult for the West to
withstand the East.”

So why are we bringing in 1.1 million PERMANENT LEGAL IMMIGRANTS ANNUALLY, 20% of whom lack even a high school diploma? And we graduate more people with STEM degrees than there are jobs.

I'll add this: our business regulations and tax laws are essentially strangling the US economy. We need to get rid of a LOT of unneeded business regulations and massively overhaul national taxation to get the type of broad-based economic recovery we saw in the 1980's.

There is a simple reason for this.

Everything is now made in China, and imported to America.

America last year, spent 342 billion dollars more on stuff from China, than China spent on things made in America.

It was a blow-out.

Yet that trade deficit continues to worsen, and neither party is doing one thing to reconcile that (big) and growing problem for America.

Bring back American manufacturing.
