And that's a fact.

We have a defense industry that has supply chains that run right through China.

Literally, we inport critical medicine through China.

And you have fools on this board screaming "central planning" as though corporate hacks pillaging the whole country for cash is preferable to a few patriots putting on the breaks.

It's going to get rough...

I think part of our problem is America, a basically Godless, materialistic, hedonistic shell of its' former self, has lost the ability to care about the long term. People's conscious begins at.birth and ends at their 401k.

Literally who cares if our kids have a future as long as my 401k does well THIS YEAR.

Trump's intention is a wealth transfer... it is. I admit it. It is to transfer some of the money from the "Profit Column" and "Capital Gains Column" into the "Wages Column".

And God forbid he do that!

And the Left and the Traditional Conservatives and media are finally back where they belong... TOGETHER... the SWINES.

It's like the old Beatles song, " Piggies".

quote:



Have you seen the little piggies
Crawling in the dirt?
And for all the little piggies
Life is getting worse,
Always having dirt to play around in

Have you seen the bigger piggies
In their starched white shirts?
You will find the bigger piggies
Stirring up the dirt,
Always have clean shirts to play around in

In their styes with all their backing
They don't care what goes on around
In their eyes there's something lacking
What they need's a damn good whacking

Everywhere there's lots of piggies
Living piggy lives
You can see them out for dinner
With their piggy wives
Clutching forks and knives to eat the bacon

One more time

It wasn't the USA, as a whole that got raped, it was Main Street.

Just a slight correction. Corporatists, not capitalists are the issue.

No you don't. You would be perfectly fine with the USA not making anything on our own and have to rely on other nations.

And that will be the end of the USA.


You are a moron.

China $4,975,614 31.63%

United States $2,497,132 15.87%


These are the two largest mfgs in the world.

#3 Japan manufactures less than half our output.

China, the most populated nation with more than 4x the population of the USA, has twice our output. Which means we produce more per capita.

Youve been fed lie after lie. And you dont even care.

I really fricking wish people would start to understand a difference between cronyism and capitalism.

Populist types and leftist seem to have a really hard time comprehending that the two concepts are entirely different and actually opposites.

Cronyism involves tons of government favors. Regulatory capture being one of the big ones. Capitalism is just owning your property and being able to trade WITHOUT interference from government.

How do we go from the best manufacturing country on earth to...that?

You're arguing dishonestly trying to downplay how much of a manufacturing power America is. Why?

It is not and never has been. If that were true then we, as a nation, have always been something other than Capitalists.

I will always take Capitalism over Socialism/Communism.

But even Capitalism needs to adhere to the golden mean.

Too much of a good thing is not a good thing.
