I was once on the CP bandwagon but his recent politics have me shying away. I don't think we will ever have that "warrior statesman" in the oval office again. Not a competant one anyway.+1
I agree that we all shoulder the blame. It's a shame that we don't remember our mistakes any better than we do. This is the 70's repeating itself in so many ways.
The biggest problem now is that government has injected itself into so many facets of our lives that government must solve the problems. . .
How do we do that when the average wage in China is a fraction of our average wage and the Chinese Government is artificially controlling the value of it's currency in order to keep our debt level as high as possible?
It is going to take a policy of some kind that causes China to redirect it's resources to something other than industrial/economic growth. Something like SDI did to bring Russia to it's knees. Originally Posted by boardman
I do not think we have the economic might to overwhelm China as we did Russia. With the SDI arms race, Russia spent themselves into bankruptcy and could not pay their government's bills, salaries for govt workers, the army etc. That is the peril bho would bring to the USA with Obama-care.
I was dismayed that CP supported bho. I think it was a black thing, a leap at a hope that this charismatic man might indeed bring change to America. But it has not turned out that way, and sadly so.
