LoL. sounds like you have it all figured out....so whats the answer?
If everybody just blindly buys china junk without any thought to the future(and yes that includes not continuing to pollute) the United(union)States of America will cease to exist and Real communism will take over.
Our elected officials are not and have not been doing their jobs.
Our American lifestyle that our forefathers fought for is at stake. I'm trying to do my part, and I sincerely hope you do yours
I never said I had the answer. What I I did say that "Buy American" isn't the solution to all that ails America. Like it or not, the world is a global marketplace now. Thanks to technology advances, our borders and mere distance are no longer an impediment to products being produced overseas and sold here competitively, nor is protectionism a viable economic policy. Other nations buy our products no different that we buy theirs. Oh, and for the record, the "rich" ALREADY pay the vast majority of tax dollars.
The first part of the solution is to lower taxes. The left thinks that "taxing the rich" and making them pay their "fair share" is part of the solution. That's nonsense. All that does is (a) increase the price of the product or service (ALL costs to produce a product or service, including higher taxes, is passed on to the customer) and reduce consumer's ability to afford things and (b) it forces the "evil "rich" people to move their assets and invest their capital in other places. Kennedy, like Reagan, lowered taxes significantly and the result was a massive increase in tax revenue.
Next, you reduce the nonsensical and burdensome government over-regulation and interference in the public sector. I would venture a guess that 90% of the crap in place right now could be removed and our environment, our resources, our economy, our health, and our safety would see zero reasonable negative affect.
Next, uncap American energy! Enough of this green new deal bulls***, shutting down pipelines, limits on drilling, limits on fracking, outlawing of gas stoves, ICE vehicles, and cow farts. Despite what many believe, the US has more energy under our feet than most any other nation. We need an ALL OF THE ABOVE approach: Use coal, petroleum, nuclear and NG NOW - at ridiculously low prices like they were through the Trump years - and develop sustainable energy sources at the SAME time. The government should not be picking and choosing winners by subsidizing Chinese companies building battery plants in MI, by subsidizing solar, wind, and everything else. Let the technology prove itself!
Next, STOP sending US taxpayer dollars and us military resources overseas! Why the hell are we funding Ukraine? Those BILLIONS need to be invested HERE, in new infrastructure so that new businesses can take advantage of them.
Next, STOP all the illegal immigration! 6 MILLION have crossed the border since Clown Biden took office. All those illegals are DRIVING DOWN WAGES and increasing the cost to taxpayers (of Americans who do work) by having to pay for all the benefits for these illegals.
I could go on, but nothing is going to change until the idiot in the Oval Office is gone. The economic, domestic, and energy policies of his administration and his leftist, facist, progressive fellow party members are killing this nation. Sady, it's not because of ignorance - it's by design. They WANT to destroy the nation so that it can be rebuilt under a model of Marxism - something that has been tried many times around the world, but has ALWAYS failed.
Sorry for the thread hijack.
I've said my piece. We can start a new thread if you want to continue.
