There's no way we can compete with the 3rd world.

You can be innovators. You can be inventors. You can be originators. You can be leaders.
What you can't do is spin a dollar through the financial system and have it come out as 2 dollars on the other end, which is what we're doing now.

With politics and economy driving this movement i guess people are waking up to harsh reality

I agree

Saw a interview on FOX yesterday with two reporters one from China, and the other from Europe.

Yeah you innovate and Chinese just copy and take advantage of it with their massive scales.

Good luck with that.

Globalism created the downfall of Detroit. If this is not stopped or unfair trading continues, all our cities will look like Detroit.

And who would want to live in the US after its economy is completely destroyed by protectionist policies?

An America that can't attract genuises from other countries isn't going to be able to maintain its competitive edge very long.

Don't allow anyone into America until we can take care of our own. And get rid of the welfare state. We have enough geniuses already and don't need anymore foreigners taking away jobs Americans can do.

Free trade can be good, but there has to be a balance. What we have now is a system that solely benefits the wealthy. They can send most of the jobs overseas, while still having the global market open for exports.

Yeah, exactly, why can't we just have policies that are more equitable?

Why do some people reply w/ going to either extreme? That doesn't help.
