Well then my friend the world owes us for that protection not just these two little ole nuclear powers.

ABsolfrickinglutely!!!! I ain't singling out India and Pakistan (neither of which would be nuclear powers had we not kept them from one another's throat). I don't think our new president has singled any single nation out either...I think (I may be wrong) that he has said all of our allies are going to have to pay up or accidents may happen (I know that aint what he said but his coming from New Jersey he couldve LOL).


We have been subsidizing the world's manufacturers since the end of the second world war....the fact that we provide something of a stablizing force in the world keeps markets open and makes trade of any sort possible. We have done this because US companies benefitted and before technology made it possible to eliminate US workers US workers benefitted....but those workers have taken all they are willing to take...and fully expect Trump to fulfill his campiagn promise to bring jobs back and make our allies pay their share of the bill. And I think Trump intend to do so....I think he is going to have a hard time because the system is entrenched and he he has already said he would increase military spending which will make his asking for payment from our allies fall on deaf ears. But he tapped into workers needs and got elected...I am willing to overlook social security, medicare, the EPA...all of that will take care of itself....if he will fulfill his promise to tariff products, ask for payment from our allies and lower or eliminate (my words, not his) corporate taxes....those 3 things will make American labor strong like it should be and they will then have time to focus on things like shoring social security and the EPA....like Labor did in the first place!
