It is high time our country becomes self suffient again and builds privately owned companies that cannot be manipulated by the world system.
You are so right. We need to start by drilling our own oil and gas and keeping it here and using it here.
And who were the architects of the current World system? It wasn't the Chinese. America created a system after the Second World War that competed with the Soviet led system. The American system won. In the early seventies, Nixon abandoned the gold standard over the protests of America's closest allies.
All of that has been very conveniently forgotten and I bet you didn't see this coming!
Unfortunately America is too weak to unilaterally create a new system or to retreat to its borders and ignore the rest of the World. The same rules that applied to Latin America in the late 20th century (when they could not pay their debts and defaulted) will also apply to America if nothing is done.
You benefit so much from the current system to abandon it. Oil is sold in dollars, you control the World Bank and the IMF, obtaining credit is easy and American workers are paid way too much in relation to what they produce.
Abandon the current system at your peril.
We need to renegotiate trade deals and place tariffs in areas where foreign governments are taking advantage.
Stop foreign aid....first to China! Put into place major tax abatement's for corporations who bring jobs back to America.
Begin cranking out WORLD CLASS American products once again and stop allowing corporations to take advantage of near slave labor world wide.
Bring home our troops with the exception of areas of imminent threat to national security. Let the world fin for itself until we've healed our own nation and booted the big government commie b@st@rds out of D.C.
Close the borders, stop handing benefits to illegals and pass policy to aid self deportation.
Did’nt Ron Paul call to audit Fort Knox? I saw an Obama cartoon of Obama taking apart the statue of liberty to cash in for the metal/copper prices. We need progressives out of office and to pay China back. Everyone made fun of Patrick Buchanan for his isolationist ideas..
Very good. That's the 600 lb gorilla in the room.
Billions annually to those who support our enemies, and a trade imbalance to boot.
We can do away with some of that by producing more of our own.
