I just hope Pat Buchanan comes back to the Republican party to fight these new inclusive compassionate conservatives. We need loudmouths like mike savage and Buchanan because nice conservative guys like Bush cant win in todays culture War.

Considering the damage that government does to our economy, it is amazing that people look to government for solutions.

It sure is!

Actually what we need is a "packaged politician" (sorry but that is what it takes nowadays), that carries the Buchanan torch. Buchanan carrying it submerges the message.

The United States has become a country that imports poor people and exports jobs that provide upward mobility.

Those who can afford to get out of here, do. Why stay?
If they're forced to share the profits here, go somewhere where they can keep their wages. They're not stupid!
Socialist societies always fail.

The United States has become a country that imports poor people..............

We need the poor people as consumers for the cheap goods imported from China ;-)

The United States has become a country that imports poor people and exports jobs that provide upward mobility.

It is a mistake to see the loss of jobs and income as the workings of free trade. The downward pressure on incomes does not result from an exchange of goods. Something different is occurring. Middle class incomes are being traded away in order to gain larger bonuses for top management, and politicians are pandering to the immigrant vote at the expense of lower income native-born citizens.

The longer this process continues, the more explosive it becomes, both socially and politically.
==================

Guys, AND the closer "they" come to the destruction of the middle class in the U.S. of A. and the ability of U.S. of A. citizens to buy even foreign made goods as the foreigners' ability to buy the goods they make is already. We SEE TODAY that U.S. of A. citizens are less able to buy the goods they make themselves, let alone foreign made goods, than they were in the mid 1980s. This has been "public" POLICY of administrations since the administration of Bush the first. Ever spiralling downward. Peace and love, George.

More trouble is brewing. The dollar is weakening and could be headed for a long slide. Strong foreign demand for U.S. assets kept up the dollar's exchange value despite massive U.S. trade deficits. Since 1994, foreign ownership of U.S. assets increased sharply as foreigners used the dollars we paid for their goods to purchase U.S. government and corporate bonds, stocks and companies.

According to Bridgewater Associates, foreigners now own 48 percent of the U.S. Treasury bond market, 24 percent of corporate bonds and 22 percent of U.S. corporations. Altogether, foreigners own $8 trillion of our assets – a sum almost equal to a year's output of our economy.

PS. Pat won't come back to the Republican party because he is a conservative for America.
