Good points you brought up except for the healthcare and extreme taxation killing living standards.
I can’t help myself but to blame all the peoples problems on the trade deficits , importing ten times more than exporting for decades.
I see the healthcare and extreme taxation as results of globalization and imports after 1975. Multinational businesses, the “green” hoax, and global philanthropists objectives have WON. Nothing left here to win anymore.
THAT’S why their Media keeps complaining about no wage USA inflation. We can’t afford to support them anymore. They took the cake, and they even came back for the crumbs, when they handed out all those big loans to people with no jobs, just to keep us spending at Home Depot and Lows etc, and various other false occupations created.
Look how many people lost money on Fanny Fready stocks, the alleged AAA Bond buyers etc etc.
