Very interesting read (albeit long) on one of the many ways we are being sold out and hung out to dry by the globalist elite.
"Our trade deficit will not diminish absent a significant increase in domestic manufacturing. Those unconcerned about the decline of American manufacturing might want to read Winwood Reade's 1872 volume The Martyrdom of Man, in which he chronicled the economy of ancient Rome: "By day the Ostia road was crowded with carts and muleteers, carrying to the great city the silks and spices of the East, the marble of Asia Minor, the timber of the Atlas, the grain of Africa and Egypt; and the carts brought nothing out but loads of dung. That was their return cargo."
Today, America's biggest export via ocean container is waste paper -- our version of dung."
this is the worst analogy i've ever read, considering it is supposed to be from some sort of historian/scholar.
first, the roman economy was not heavily invested in manufacturing, it was slaves. slaves as a form of property and thereby wealth prohibits the desire for manufacturing as it destroys the status quo economic base.
second, america has been sending heavy manufacturing overseas for decades. ever wonder what happened to acid rain? it's in china now along with the manufacturing jobs, as well as a host of other problems.
i do agree that we are being made to suffer at the hands of a global elite, because that's how it has always been. "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss..."
