I don't think this is working
When you outsource manufacturing jobs, you lose the folks who spend most of the money to keeping the economy going.

When you outsource everything you can, everything becomes more expensive because fewer people have money to spend.

When you privatize everything you can, institutional memory and public choice becomes things of the past.

When you take away money from cites and states to fund occupations, you get poor cities.

When take away effective regulation for corporations, you get things like the economic meltdown and the destruction of the Gulf of Mexico.

When you attempt to remove the social net, bad things happen to many people.

When the only manufacturers remaining are the weapons and weapons system builders, congresscritters fight for 'jobs'.


I would like my old America back. :(

2. Now now now don't be bringing reality into the cons wank fest
According to the cons I know businesses don't need customers in order to make profits they just need a business and the money magically appears from the heavens.

4. But the corporations are multinational and don't have to depend on American customers anymore.
