TRUE DAT

no vote for any federal office should be counted unless a consistent set of rules are applied to all. And that applies to proper monitoring chain of custody.

That is the big question I have with all of this: the only way we could become a country that exports goods to many developed countries would be by making our people poorer and standard of living much lower. Essentially, the payroll expenditures would to drastically diminish for US manufacturing so our goods would have a real price difference with a nation providing first-world wages to their labor.

You have the gist of any logical opposition to the tariffs right there.

But to avoid our 'pain in the pocket book' you would be condemning not only those destitute workers in Bangladesh to a dim future with no hope of their ability to earn a decent wage. And in addition, you are encouraging the dependence on that 'next-to-slave-labor' for our underprivileged consumers to dress in 'hi style' cheap clothing.

On the other hand, the offending countries can impose higher standards for their own workers by mandating better working conditions and take less pay-offs for their fat-class elites who control their economy.

In the meantime, the US can now explore an economic opportunity for our own lower echelon earners to actually compete with the now-not-so-cheap commodities and increase their own standard of living.

Our problem is that we have an inflated standard-of-living that can only be sustained by enslaving half the globe to produce cheap products via slave-labor. And we have to even subsidize that by continually turning on the $$$-printing press that drives inflation.

The latter is a terrible injustice to not only the half-world working slavishly to feed out bloated appetite, but is an also a condemnation for our own progeny to maintain the inflation machine.

At some point that idea will break down - and when it does the "great depression" of the 30's will look like a picnic in the park. I was born in that original 'great-depression' and I do not wish it on anyone else -- especially my own great-grandson.

A little pain now is worth it to change the trajectory of this inflation machine.

or else the whole world goes back to sustenance conditions.

ONOZ - not to make them spend money = the HORROR:rolleyes:

That is exactly what we NEED to make them do - spend their money on something other than stealing elections and smearing opponents.

did he actually identify any shred of policy or issue hi lighted by this 'famous speech' ??

From the clips I've seen it sounded more like a babbling drunkard trying to explain the lipstick on his shirt.

they can only manage one emotion at a time

and their repertoire is pretty slim

This was satire - right ??

has to be satire - doesn't it?

Just require they put their funds into a certified public investment fund.

Glad to hear there is an independent calculation of this factor. :bow:

I have often tried to keep track of "bad luck" influence on ERA - but to no avail - my memory was never that great and now is practically non existent.

Will this stat be readily available?? as in accepted by the 'establishment?'

Should Americans consider different points of view on issues

wtf kind of question is this!!

the very CONCEPT of being an "American" is listening to all points of view and forming a logical opinion + continuing to keep track of the issue.

If you DON'T do that, then you are a democrat - or from a foreign culture.
