Prior
to 2006 the US government allowed more
legal immigrants in then illegal. Thanks
to the current Administration’s blatant unwillingness to execute it’s
Constitutional obligation to enforce the nation’s immigration laws, American
towns and cities are being overran by illegal immigrant, particularly from
Mexico, and has placed critical stress on their social fabric and economies. Many American cities are being turned into
Spanish enclaves with the predominate language being Spanish. Prior to the US government’s allowing
Communist China’s entry into the World Trade Organization
, the US had a
trade surplus with China, that was advertised as a means to better control
China and bring them in line with US political desires. Today, we are very hard pressed to find
anything that is not made in Communist China.
From anything from toys to electronics and clothing and soon to be cars
will be dominated by China. The US government even imports
nearly 80% of seafood from Communist China.
Tell me if that makes any sense.
The Bush Administration has purposely sought a <i>America
Last</I> policy that has made <i>”Made in the USA”</I> virtually
extinct. America, since President George W. Bush took
office in January 2001, has lost 2.8 million manufacturing jobs, American manufacturing
employment fell to14.3 million in March 2004, its lowest level in 54 years,
according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Manufacturing jobs has declined since its peak
of 40 percent just after World War II to 27 percent in 1981 and now stands at
about 12 percent. The engineering industry
has lost 221,000 jobs in six major job classifications according to the Bureau
of Labor Statistics. As evidence to America’s growing impoverish position, foreigners
have acquired $3.6 trillion of US assets since 1990 as a result of US
trade deficits. This is money that may
have once gone to Americans and or US corporations for things like research and
development or reinvestments.
Americans
feel that there is something wrong, but doesn’t quite know where the cause of
the disturbance is coming from or are led to look toward a diversion elsewhere. We look for help from are elected officials,
but they seem to be listening to another master. The US government feeds propaganda to the
American people that we are a economic model for the world to follow. Yet, it is the US that is unable to do without the
nations of the world, due to it’s unsustainable financial obligation to nations
such as Communist China. The US government operates it’s financial
house like no American home would dream and not State does, for long. Yet, it has become common place to the point
that they have invented a word, <i> “deficit spending”</i> -
spending money that it does have. According to the US Treasury Department, the US debt is approaching $9 Trillion. The US government debt has increased at
average of greater than $1 Billion per/day costing the US citizen’s – man, woman, and child - nearly
$30 Thousand. The American people has
less to spend and virtually made in America goods to spend it on thanks the
economic leadership of the US government of the past 14 years thanks to the
seriously American disadvantageous trade policy agenda. What miss has the US gotten the American people? And how can we get out of it?
