Who did it to who first? Who did it last? Chicken and egg situation. For example, $1 used to equal one Yen. After the war, “they” global socialist NWO gov’t bankers, converted overnight $1 to 360 Yen. That means the USA products get a 360% tariff going into Japan, and low and behold, the USA gets a whopping 360% discount on imports from Japan. Cheap in normally good, but not if its costly later.
Another way to figure out the results of globalization is looking at living standards. USA’s were great 1945 to 1975. After 1975 US living standards went down the toilet. Has Canada’s living standards gone down since 1975?? I doubt that very much. Its logical to believe many countries got hurt after or since 2008. Only 10 years.
US started hurting after 1975 43 years ago. The Americans were FED UP for decades. Are Canadians fed up? Are the Japanese people fed up? How about China? Their living standards are thru the roof. Are any Chinese people pissed off about their living standards?
Another thing. Does Canada, Mexico, Japan, and China have huge national debts? Huge trade and budget deficits? If not they have no logical right to add tariffs against the USA. Lets say you had a below marked priced apartment, for 25 years, your landlord died, the kids took it over, and doubled your rent. Would you COMPLAIN?? I hope not. You should be happy for what you got. Allies should not be complaining and reciprocate.
And what’s this allies thing? The USA doesn’t have any allies, only the allies do. Somebody please tell me name any other countries that did something big for the USA. Geez TPTB married the USA with countries that have “baggage”. WW I, WW II, Korea, Vietnam, foreign aid, imports, on and on. Haven’t we done enough?? The USA should declare independence AGAIN, and be like Switzerland, and dump all the baggage.
Anybody in the USA that is happy these days means they did well because their business or occupation was artificially supported by the gov’t and taxpayers to over ride manufacturing losses.
