Americans didn't just 'stop' producing "stuff." Government placed incredible excessive regulatory burdens and taxes upon them, I believe, with at least some intent to 'level' the playing field of intra-national economics by having business appear to move on their own into low economic growth areas that also generate social instability due to poverty caused by institutionalized and systemic corruption of not only 'government' but so called businesses as well.
This provided jobs and a sense of hope for those peoples. Not all a bad idea. But it was done at our expense at least in large part. Our self proclaimed political leaders left diplomacy aside in favor of basically a forced export of our business and technology.
NAFTA and CAFTA and others not yet known but on the drawing table were and are manifestations of that intent. And NAFTA has cost us dearly every year since it was passed, in real economic terms.
Looking back today, it seems as though it failed so miserably, so thoroughly, so absolutely in a way that only our government has proved it can fail that it suggests if not implicates involvement in corruption beyond my meager imagination.
Before America can make a 'come back' our own government has to determine that it wants to favor it's own citizens and it's own productivity. And that isn't likely to happen any time soon. We have decided to become a non-leader economically. And what follows that is a fall from power in every other way.
Get used to it. It's our future. - jimw428, on 11/29/2008, -0/+2Ross Perot looks like a forward thinking genius today, rather than just another kook as the MSM painted him when he ran for President. When speaking of NAFTA, Perot said "that great sucking sound you hear is jobs leaving the USA". He doesn't look so "kooky" now, does he?

Education seems to be the key to reclaiming our industry. Grassroots retaking of educational systems can reverse the process of socialization and spreading the wealth mentality. It just takes enough people getting fed up with the current state of affairs and determindedly taking back the fundamental process of educating our children. Perhaps this pendulum swing can begin with us.
- inactive, on 11/29/2008, -0/+1there are things perot said that i didn't agree with but this is not one of them. he was a great third party candidate to watch in those debates. he was vocal and humorous. u gotta respect the little guy.
- thr335t7, on 11/28/2008, -0/+1I agree with everything you said and can only suggest that the effects that you see from NAFTA/CAFTA/GATT,ect,ect is not,in my opinion, the unintended results of misguided policy-making.But rather a calculated and very conscious effort on the part of the banksters and their political acolytes to impose their New World Order agenda on an unsuspecting and uninformed public.Just look at what our government is doing(or not doing) to address the immigration problem. And this sudden Wall Street collapse in the middle of an election cycle which is causing the banking system to further centralize.I don't find any of this to be mere coincidence. Google Aaron Russo on YouTube and watch his documentary and especially his interview with Alex Jones.You will be SHOCKED!!!
