Just who is gonna’ work for $8.50/hr. makin’ anything. As we all know the Federal Reserve is neither Federal nor a Reserve. This society must start being honest with itself. Mfg. has been moved offshore for the cheap labor and our medical delivery system and higher education have taken its place. Although both of them are “noble” they don’t really do anything – except consume. The former charges the patient on a formula without regard for the reality of that service being delivered and the latter continues to turn out graduates prepared for very little in todays society. This must stop if we’re to move forward in an every increasingly complex global economy based upon fiat.

GB – As we have learned from the present economic situation, moving industry overseas doesn’t work. To rescue our faltered economy, we need to recapture our industrial might. If the only way to do that is by being protectionist, what’s wrong with that?

There was a conscious decision to move industrial-based business overseas and replace this with the knowledge-based service sector. This goes back over twenty years. Trying to reverse this seems protectionist and would only worsen the economic recovery.
