When the proverbial stuff hits the fan, just remember folks. Some of us tried to sound the warning bells about China
Yes...a number of us tried to warn everyone about Communist China....wonder what those who whine “isolationism” and “protectionism” are thinking now
Supporting Free Trade with Communist China is just supporting Communism
Bulls-eye IMO.
Let me expand on that a bit, not so much for you, but for others who won’t get this on their own.
“Moderation in all things!” It’s a statement I’ve tried to keep in mind during my life. I can’t think of a single thing that can’t be overdone.
Capitalism is the best system going. I am firmly convinced of that. That doesn’t mean that there can’t be bad outcomes if we don’t use common sense as it applies to Capitalism.
If for instance, if we provide the economic stimulus to spark the rebirth of a tyranical government, making it not just an internal or regional problem, but a global pariah, is that still beneficial?
Of course it isn’t. And that’s just what we have done, and are continuing to do. And it’s not being done by people who give one hoot about the U.S., and it’s longevity. For them it’s all about the $$$$$. To hell with the petty concerns for global stability, U.S. Sovereignty, or even U.S. survivability. And as for the troops who will die defending this nation against China and it’s proxies, “Well screw them. They are of no concern!”
One has only to look at 1930s Germany to see how fallacious the Free Trade argument was. If Free Trade was the end-all to global wars, WWII would never have taken place.
And of course, WWIII wouldn’t have either, but it will. We have assured that outcome.
