Crypt, America's future isn't mainly a left/right issue. Great powers do not run trade deficits and budget deficits year after year. We need to rebuild our manufacturing and actually try to compete with China. Eventually the market will solve our dysfunction for us if we can't solve our own dysfunction. Currently, we're on the road to perdition. Originally Posted by pxmcc

On a side note I was considering hiring someone to answer phones and do some light book keeping/admin stuff. Something someone straight out of high school could do. Then with a little time and self motivation they could earn some commissions and bonuses. I don't need a sales executive or full charge bookkeeper, just someone who wants to learn some skills. Not now, not at $15 an hour. I could pay lower commissions but then where is the incentive. Fuck it. I'll just do it with the staff I have. There's one job lost.
Anyway, to expand on CKs point, China will be allowed to produce cheap goods using fossil fuels as energy while we pay to develop cleaner energy so they can steal the technology from us...IF we don't outright hand it over to them. While they are doing that they will continue to manipulate their currency and take advantage of their cheap labor and weaken us further. Just like they were doing 4 years ago. Biden will bend us over and hold Xi's dick for him while he rams it up our collective ass...and he'll be saying "C'mon man, this isn't an ass fucking this is good for you".
All Trump was doing was trying to level the playing field as best he could. Everyone was so concerned about our standing in the world under Trump. Seems to me we were pretty well respected. Let's see how long that holds up. Iran is already sabre rattling. They want their cash to start flowing in again. Canada is pissed at us now for shutting down the pipeline. We will end up going back to some ridiculous trade deal with them and Mexico to pacify them and prop them up again at our expense.
John Kerry, that arrogant prick, is telling guys who wallows around in the mud stacking beads that have to be 100% x-rayed that they can get other good paying jobs with some retraining. Where? China? What a out of touch, elite, entitled bastard. 1 fucking pipeline...There are tens of thousands of miles of pipelines all across the country carrying crude, refined petroleum products, gas and coal slurry. Some of them were built in the 50's and still operate. Years ago, late 70's early 80's, I worked on both the Colonial Pipeline, a "big inch" line, that runs from Mt. Belvieu to VA carrying refined petroleum products and the Northern Border Pipeline, also "big inch" that was originally built to bring crude from Canada to Chicago. Both lines are still moving product. It's like a bunch of people woke up one day and decided pipelines are bad.
The best thing about this fool Biden doing all the bidding of the extreme left is that it will wake people up quick, fast and in a hurry. They will realize that it was a huge fuck up to put Dems in charge. 22 months and counting. I hope any RINOs that supported impeachment or fell for calls of unity gets their ass handed to them in the next primary. Dan Crenshaw included. You'd think a Navy Seal with a pirate patch would at least have some balls.
We need a bunch more like Matt Gaetz and that Boebert chick.
