To understand what is happening in our economy, listen to this song "Wake Up America," and forward it to your friends. It's words paint a vivid picture of the problems facing our country right now. Our industrial infrastructure is collapsing; we are outsourcing our manufacturing base and existing on imports and debts. The consequences of allowing this to continue will be disastrous to our standard of living and economy for generations to come. Americans must be informed of these problems, and demand changes be made by our government to save jobs and improve our country. Ask your representatives in congress to:

First of all Independence is a good thing. Let's not boo-hoo it.
The Revolution of '76 set us apart from England and another awful George (King George the V) and we the people established an Independent self governing secular democracy no longer ruled as a colony of England. Coming into more modern times, let's not forget that it was entrenched Republican President Hoover-through gross negligence, stupidity and incompetence failed to properly regulate the markets leading to the crash of '29. I remind readers that Republican administrations for at least the last 80 years have INVARIABLY led to recessions. At least 1 has led to a Depression, and Bush is well on his way to ruining our current economy. Whenever there is a Republican-there is an economic downturn in the economy. Let's see. America is not responsible for the London Economic Collapse.The British must properly manage their own affairs. Internal monetary policy of the British government is neither the business nor provice of American economics. As a sovereign nation, they are charged with minding their own accounts properly. WW II came about 10 years later as a result of a democractically elected Hitler whose lust for power and control new few limits. As a side note, the American Bush family's fortune was earned in part by trading and doing business with the nazis in the early 40's until congress halted it for trading with the enemy. Look it up and learn something today! Let's see fascism was popular in Italy in the 30's when the state and industry were one. Kind of like what we see in the ExxonMobil corp. becoming a rogue world menace. Failing to pay for its Valdez incident until 17 years later and then court shopping to find a sympathetic judge in order to grossly underpay its fine. ExxonMobil has also been funding the global warming skeptics to abrogate its environmental responsibilty for pollution. Didn't Pontius Pilate do something like that a while back? ExxonMobil is currently trying to undermine the sovereignty of the nation of Venezuala through a frivoulous law suit, and illegal freezing of its foreign assetts to pressure it into compliance to be a reluctant victim of oil rape. In terms of bilateral trades those are fine. World trade is neither healthy nor desirable as detailed earlier. Closed protected and highly regulated markets do a much better job at protecting citizens jobs and wealth from foreign slave competition and also help retain national wealth within a country. Well managed countries and systems benefit and prosper. Poorly managed systems impoverish and the governments are accountable. Small closed loop economic systems can be controlled for the public good and are family friendly. Free trade is wild by its nature and cannot be regulated. Therefore it is inheriently corrupt and unsuitable for a society in which stable jobs, wages, families and benefits are desired outcomes. Free markets really only benefit a handful of billionaire investors and multinational corporations without a conscience. |

There was a time in American History when we tried something like "independence" read as autarchy. That was when President Roosevelt let the London Economic Conference of l933 collapse. World trade also collapsed. The consequences were World War, Fascism, the Great Depression. Bilateral trade agreements were never able to restore world trade. You want to try it again? Go ahead.

I like the idea of being independent and making everything ourselves.We may not be 100% successful at doing it but we can do a hell of a lot better than we are doing now.
I think its a healthy poilicy for other nations as well. Why? Because governments must then be more accountable and responsible to their own citizens. Pursuing a policy of Isolationism and Protectism are wise and good for the public well being. America should protect her workers and not pull the rug out from them to give jobs to India and China. Are India and China sending their best jobs here? No! Of course not and they shouldn't. Nor should the US government pursue a worker bashing program of antiunion/pro illegal alien/pro outsourcing policies. Globilization on the whole creates more trade but at the expense of everything else. Proxy worldwide slavery, environmental degradation, strengthening multinational businesses at the expense of sovereign governments, weakening Democracy, reducing job security and lowering wages as it increases working hours are the fruits of a global economy. A race to the bottom is the natural result for 95% of workers. We need to stop the outflow of money from our nation. We can and should put up huge tariffs and trade barriers to competitors like China and India. Pursuing a path of self suffienciency and independence is the smartest and healthiest way of making America strong, Democratic and Independent again. |

Start producing everything for ourselves. This argument has been around for centuries and riddled to death. So their is no point in refuting it again. What is recommended here is called autarchy. It was the strategy of the CPSU for the industrialization of the Soviet Economy. It failed miserably. The recommendation to try it again even if set to music is stupid. By the way, I would love to see Paul Craig Roberts say the same thing.

Whenever there is a Republican-there is an economic downturn in the economy. Why is this so?
Perhaps because Republicans plan their macroeconomic plans only around the interests of the top 5% of earners.The remaining 95% of earners who don't have access to large scale planning and influence are simply deemed irrelevant due to their lack of access and therefore not included in economic forecasting or planning.
Let's see. America is not responsible for the London Economic Collapse.The British must properly manage their own affairs.
