Roger, thanks for the comeback, I pretty much agree. The only thing I see different, re your…..
“Foreigners didn’t take away our manufacturing, it was freely given to them by our politicians. ”
Because of my life long occupation, my mind works differently than a normal mind. The USA mostly does not have very much domestic representation. Imo our politicians represent foreigners. And think about who controls the politicians.?
Big business and global bankers. The politicians have nothing at all to do with interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. Whoever controls the money, controls the country. So in reality, the USA does not have a government of its own.
We have someone else’s. We have a foreign gov’t. The local ones just work on little things and react and work around what is handed to them. No gov’t would do to its own people what this one did. After the Federal Reserve act of 1913.
One example, before WW II one dollar was about equal to one Yen. So the real gov’t overnight after the war was over, made one US Dollar equal to 360 Yen. Which in a sense, put a 360% tariff on our exports, and a 360% DISCOUNT of foreign imports, so as to move US Consumer dollars overseas to rebuild all the destruction.
The wonders of phony money. Affordability to destroy infrastructure globally, and then fake affordability to rebuild it. 🙂
