Oh well, here we are decades later....after that huge sucking sound of jobs leaving this country.
Now we have around 94 million Americans of working age out of the job market. Flooding the country with refugees, illegals and H1b visa holders from foreign countries. Our economy/GDP limping along, interest rates for savers near zero, national debt close to 21 Trillion, Trade deficits in the hundreds of billions, more people on disability/food stamps/housing assistance since the 70’s, worker benefits slashed, pay stagnant for a decade or more.
And the country chose to elect Clinton, Clinton again (to embarrass the nation), then Bush, Bush again and last but not least...that dumb @$$ muzzie lovin marxist.
Yea, lookin back on it, Perot would have made a fine president. Couldn't have been any worse than that listed above.
Two things stick in my mind from his campaign.
1) A TV reporter asked him about our trade policies and he said something like "If you take a look at our one-sided trade treaties, it would make you cry." I didn't know the particulars, but could just imagine, and I wondered whatever happened to those "sharp Yankee traders" I used to read about.
2) In one of his TV speeches, he held up a large photo of a Ford plant in Mexico and asked "What's wrong with this picture?" I looked and didn't see a thing. Then he pointed out the obvious - there were no parking lots. He made his point and continued "Unlike American workers, the people in those plants can't afford to buy the product they make. They are bused in from nearby barrios."
I used that last in my arguments against all those "Free Trade" proponents - and never got a rebuttal.
