That DARN Freedom of Choice!! We should abolish it in all purchasing activities. No American may ever again choose what to buy and where to buy it from!!!!
Then let's declare war on China to force them to open their ports and to buy our goods. It has been done before, repeatedly, by Britain and France and others... and in the last 160 years.
Yes, by gum, THEN everything will be good again!
Thank goodness conservatives see the wisdom of denying free choice and free markets and competition. We've clearly all been standing in bread lines for the last 120 years, and most especially in the last 12 years, because of that darn open market capitalism. Why, we only export more than any other nation on earth except one.... we only export 10 percent of the world's exports, despite being 4.4 percent of the world's population... we only export more than South America, Central America, and Africa combined (despite having one-fifth of their population)... Yeah, we are miserable at production and exportation. We just suck at it.
What we need is politicians to come to our rescue (because they are ALWAYS so good at arranging economic frameworks!!!!), to skew the rules in our favor so we can compete with Canada and Italy and Russia...
Yesssss.... THEN it will all be good again. Only THEN can we hire Americans again. There is no other option at all!
Note: there may be a scintilla of sarcasm in this post...
That is all a bit too irrational for me to respond to it.
