Termyn8or -> RE: Why Obama cannot win in 2008 (9/4/2008 11:15:41 AM)

popeye, me thinks thou dost spout NAFTA too much, but in this case it should be considered applicable. As we were promised all sorts of gain, and both parties passed it, it was one of the worst things they did. By "they" I mean people in both "parties" and party in a very applicable word because "they" mostly have never worked a day in their life.
Yes NAFTA was wonderful, as we watched Buick move to Canada and Zenith move to Mexico. Giving China MFN status was also great, it did We The People absolutley no good at all but lined the pockets of those who get million dollar welfare checks.
They are all to blame, and it is not enough to say that one party is as bad as another, now it seems appropriate to say that they are worse than each other. That may sound illogical but if you look at the history of the matter, it seems all they want to do is destroy us.
These people go to school and college. I am a highschool dropout, but I can see that free trade agreements with countries with vastly different demographics than ours were highly dangerous to our way of life. Without proper tarriffs and regulation, they put US businesses at a terrible disadvantage. Under the conditions that were and are extant in the world, free trade is in no way fair trade.
Enjoy your Chinese TV, your Japanese car, your Malaysian monitor, your Singaporean harddrive, your Mexican motherboard and your food from who knows where. The people who spearheaded this disaster are enjoying their money.
I trust none of them. The ONLY reason I dislike Obama less is because he might change a few things, but don't expect anything drastic. Our problems will continue until We The People take matters into our own hands and refuse to buy foreign goods, at least a good portion of us.
There is a book out telling how we can "buy American" but you can't do it completely unless you want to live without just about every modern convenience there is. You can't even buy a car built in the US with all US components. Even if you can't see them, the fuel injectors are likely made by Bosch. Bosch is not in the US, but Germany.
I'll go really off the wall here and say that in lieu of either of the candidates I would rather see Chris Rock get the big chair. Submit a proposal to him he might say "If we do that we are going to get fucked out of so much money we'll feel like we got fucked up the ass with a fire hydrant". However if you propose it to these suits we elect, they will first consider their own well being, and if they give a moment's concern to the good of the country they will dismiss the notion and act in their own self interest.
What would YOU do ?
