I agree.
I've posted a few times over the pelican years that we are in an economic war with India and China. Our gov't politicians have had an easy time in the past without world wide competition. I think the current problem is that the economic machine moves exponentially and politicians only move when there is a crisis.
fwiw.. I figure that our economy is much stronger that the talking heads say. Liquidity seems to be moving from real estate back into the stock market. My $ has been where my mouth is for over a year now. This year my mouth is even bigger with more $. If the Dems succeed in raising capital gains & dividend income and start an anti international trade trend I'm cashing out and moving to Belize. Raising taxes is somewhat near term and anti trade is a hidden long term monster with our said economy not reacting till it's too late.
and a rant about the illegals.
Mexico should be charged a million bucks for each Mexican that we legally import to cover near term taxpayer expenses. Illegals should be exported and Mexico charged for expenses. If they don't come up with the cash they could substitute oil drilling rights. What complicates the issue is a possible revolution or insurgency if Mexico's economy didn't have the blow-off valve of shipping their citizens here.
