The economic impact of the current Exodus from the United States.

  1. Sorry, I missed this line before.

    Clinton gave the Chinese keys to our patents office, so forget about protecting intellectual property rights.

  2. There is two KEY STEPS that MUST HAPPEN to save america........


    1) Unleash SMALL BUSINESS....through governement backed grants, government backed loans, trimmed back regulations for all companies under 100 employees, etc, etc, etc,

    The big boys got to rip hundreds of billions out of the countries a$$ so now it is time for Small Business!!!

    2) Take back the entire US public school system from the destructive anti-constitutional left of center groups and programs. Move immediately to full tilt highly demanding constitutional citizen lead government curriculum, civics/freedom/rule of law courses, finance/debt/savings/investing fundamentals programs in all high schools, small business set-up/start up/operations training at the highschool level, etc, etc, etc!

    We need to go back and TEACH what made this country once STRONG......independence, self-reliance, and good responsible citizenship!!!

    So then what happens when physical labor is replaced with mechanical parts on the assembly line?

    I would much rather be in the country investing the goods, which most likely includes the designs for the robotics running the assembly lines, than the countries of middle class workers getting replaced by the robotics.

    But as I said, this hinges on our ability to protect intellectual property and pull ahead in education. Neither of which we seem to be doing.

    It is the 'rags to riches to rags' cycle, happening on a massive level.

    There was an excellent quote in the recent HBO miniseries John Adams. To re-phrase it: Our forefathers studied war so that their children could study math and science so that their children could study art and poetry.

    While the last generation has the luxury of studying arts and poetry, their children will not have that luxury, because they won't have the wealth of their parents to live off of (because let's not kid ourselves, cultural anthropology and art history majors are making huge bank). So the kids go back to studying practical subjects ... math, science, engineering, law.

    That is what we must do as a nation. We were rags. We made it to riches. We are slowly moving our way back to rags.

  5. Pretty funny. The democrats used to represent working white people now they're the enemy of working whites.

    Minorities on the dole. Academics on the dole. Government workers on the dole. Old folks on the dole. With just enough retro-commie Jews in positions of thought control i.e. academia, media and entertainment to stir the pot toward globalism, secularism and cultural/moral debasement.

    The white middle class-the actual backbone of the country- has been left twisting in the wind. The Federal government carnivorously consumes too much wealth, engages in policies detrimental to it's citizens and is paid a multiple vs. the services rendered by state and municipal governments. The Federal model is either a. headed for fiscal/market collapse or b. the Democrat majority and Obama will protect Federalism with an almost totalitarian inflationary zeal.

    I've mentioned this before but 1 out of 6 working Americans are employed in some level of government. Then factor in the number of retirees being paid either public pensions or Social Security. Throw in public school students. I bet no less than 75,000,000 kids on the "dole". Then add public assistance folks or even those on the periphery like the corporate jockeys working for firms with Big Government contracts.

    Entitlement-the Game. He who consumes the most government with the least personal tax money at stake wins.

    A worker in private industry would need to accumulate almost a million dollars in savings to draw the same risk free income flow as public pensioners. In other words few people on ET will make enough money trading that they'll be able to retire, stick their cash into a 2 year Treasury Note and enjoy higher sit on their ass income than the pension check of their mail carrier.

    Comically the debate is over raising taxes when the imperative is how to shrink both the cost and consequential negative effects of government. The Treasury market will have the last word. It'll be a stunning rebuke to Uncle Sam, his sister Nanny, the policeman to the world and domestic Big Brother. Watch Japan. They'll go into the death spiral first....

  6. Pabst....it is really VERY SIMPLE. The democrats in recent decades are all about CODEPENDENCY. Why.....because their ideals FAIL by the themselves! :eek:


    The current globalist lead democratic leadership have become CODEPENDAMENTALIST's....and the globalist directed republican leadership has become the CORPROTOCRIST's!


    Globalist wealth entities have both sides covered now.......socialism for the masses and cash for their masters. The globalist planned ONE-TWO punch has been inflicted to the face of america! :D

    Soviet Union before the collapse...

    I'm perplexed at NObomabots failing to recognize how NObama is trying to lead us further down that same path... :(

    US will not collapse, far from it.
    But you will need to become familiar with it's new form in order to get the best from it.
