"You still haven't provided any kind of a solution to competing with those who are fine living on $100-150. "

Yes I did. My solution is to lose gracefully.

Life goes on, and it is not always fair.

My solution is to lose gracefully.

Let's see how gracefully the millions being thrown out of work in America will act as they head downward toward third-world income levels.

We are not "losing" a fair contest. The global markets are rigged. China won't let us sell American-made goods over there. They won't play fair. Neither will most foreign countries let us have unfettered access to their markets as we have foolishly allowed them nearly complete access to ours. They lie, cheat and steal. Foreign governments have consistently refused to be fair in opening their markets.

American workers are getting screwed and they know it. They are not as dumb as many think they are. If this country continues its race to the bottom, you won't find many in any mood. We will have a nation of justifiably angry working people who are not being allowed to honestly compete to earn an decent living in what WAS the greatest country on earth until the mostly corrupt political class (both major parties) and corporate billionaires pissed it all away at our expense.

Depressions are made from this. Revolutions are made from this. Hitlers rise from this.

If the massive unemployment of hard-working American people is OK with you and just a "casualty" of free market economics, get ready for some reality orientation when millions of people with no money, no hope, plenty of time on their hands and a seething anger take to the streets. It won't matter to a furious mob of desperate people that they just don't have your grasp of certain economic theories.

I personally hope we do have a massive political upheaval in this country. It's long past time and there is way too much dead wood and corruption breaking the backs of decent people in America.
