That’s good news.

But I don’t think the statements I made are alarmist “babble”.

America is changing and the changes aren’t good for the average American. We don’t see the kind of increases in the standard of living that went on in the 1950’s and 1960’s here. We DO see a loss of American jobs overseas,
a loss of American jobs to illegal invaders at home, and a decreasing dollar (which generated the good news you referred to).

Not all of this is Bush II’s fault. I believe it started to accelerate during Bush I and Clinton’s terms. Bush II has allowed to increase even more. He is a globalist, an internationalist and a free trader under ANY circumstances.

Free trade is a good thing if both sides operate on a level playing field. And that doesn’t go on with most of our trading partners. THEIR workers have lower wages, poorer benefits, worse working conditions and polluted environments to deal with. Not to mention state-subsidized industry and protective tariffs.

We can’t compete with that without doing exactly what many businesses are doing - hiring illegal invaders. And the person who suffers is the American citizen and the American manufacturing base. In another major shooting war, we will have serious problems supplying a large military establishment.
