12. WE DON'T MANUFACTUER THE THINGS WE BUY.
Good jobs that used to employ Americans are being and have been shipped overseas!
WHY???
Theres always a very simple reason. But allow me to set the stage so to speak. America is the only country in the world that has nearly every commodity imaginable right here in America. The few that are missing as natural resources can surely be aquired through a mutual relationship. There is no need for treaties, reciprocal trade agreements, free markets or favoured status lists.
The truth being we still are the No 1 World Economy (every country wants to benefit by selling their products to us). If they want to sell their products here we must demand a tariff that levels the playing field, so that we are not seen by developing nations as the Great Satan who takes advantage of slave labour costs to realise a greater margin of profit when reselling those same products in the developed nations. The tariff must reflect the difference between our labour costs and theirs. Believe me it's that simple and obvious. We could fire up all our idle factories tomorrow. Bear in mind we are the only country in the world where you can fill a tanker with milk in Wisconsin drive down to Florida, refill the same tanker with orange juice and drive back up to Wisconsin. You can't do that anywhere else in the world. America has it all right here in our country America.
The biggest cost any business has is labor. Selling Price minus Cost = Profit. Business therefore must Exploit Labour. The only protection employees have is their right to withhold their labour. So long as they are organised they cannot be exploited.But the way things are now they are pricing themselves out of their job here and their employer is free to recruit their labour overseas. bbajoaot
Note: All branches of Federal, and for the most part State and local Government are fully unionised. The founders of the labor movement viewed unions as a vehicle to get workers more of the profits they help create. Government workers, however, don’t generate profits. They merely negotiate for more tax money. If they go on strike they are in fact striking against us. This is “unthinkable and intolerable.” Unions can only be allowed to exist and encouraged in the private sector.
If people don't band up and stick together they can be picked off one by one. Secrets are immpossible to keep there is always a whistle blower. As soon as it was known that a company was planning to outsource their jobs the company could easily have been thwarted, had there been a strong uncorrupt union place. America would unhesitatingly supported a strike for keeping their jobs from being outsourced overseas.
Of course our law makers could easily have made it illegal for any employer to export an American job. But then our elected leaders would have to rely on their salaries not bribes (campaign contributions). We must take the money out of politics.
Obviously Americans would have to pay more for the goods made here but unless they have jobs they can't buy anything anyway. There is only job security and full emploments providing, when we as a country make it our patriotic duty to demand every thing sold in America is made in America. So lets move along to the logical conclusion. If we make the cars, tv's, etc, and use our own raw materials and insist on limiting foreign ownership to a minorty stock holding and enforce by law that all dividends have to be spent or reinvested in America we would have full employment. Congress should act and the President with a stroke the pen would ensure full employment tomorrow. It could be done that quickly. Just like they approved an unessary war in Iraq and more recently they pushed through the American Tax Payor's Wall Street Bail Out with a stroke of the President's pen and a complicite Congress.
For example when we buy Oil from the Arabs we are redistributing our wealth. We have more oil here than they do there. Our elected leaders should all be in prison for being complicite in allowing the robbery of AMERICA'S wealth.
This next few paragrahs need to be read a couple of times since they expose the real bogey man, he is the entity who really governs America and corrupts our system of government and has the full control over your future and mine. Unless we do something to get rid of him, he will continue to suck us dry. We all need to understand why, when he is the only one who can print our money and has been given the power by our elected Government to charge us interest on all of our own money that he has printed for us over the years and is continuing to print at this very moment, that he is the one who controls every facet of our economy including all of our elected politicians, he is the one who if left unchecked will drag America over the precipice. We also all need to understand why the money he prints for Government programs and the public sector (all of it run by Government employees), devalues the purchasing power of the existing pool of money created from product sales. The old adage 'Money doesn't grow on trees, it comes out of other peoples' pockets." Is a truism. Especially today with the massive, unrivaled throughout history, Government spending that is continuing to happen as you read.
For example: You catch 2 fish today (you fish for a living and your daily catch rarely exceeds 2 fish) Your neighbor John owns and works a small vegetable farm. Yesterday you decided ask the bank to loan you $1.00 to buy some vegetables from John. THE BANK PRINTED A $1.OO NOTE FOR YOU so that you could buy $1.00s worth of vegetables from John. You agreed to pay a nominal interest fee to the Bank of, say 1 cent for each day that your loan is outstanding. You purchased John's vegetables and paid him with the $1.00 that the Bank printed for you. Today John comes to you asking you to sell him a fish for $1.00. John pays for his fish with the the same dollar the Bank printed for you. You give back the Bank the original dollar that the bank printed for you plus 1 cent interest. The printed dollar is back in the bank after earning 1 cent of interest and it facilitated 2 commercial transactions.
The lesson here is, in a perfect world, providing the printed dollars are returned to the banks so that they can be lent out again should there be a demand for them. Not only will the money supply contract and expand as needed, but the purchasing power of dollar will remain stable. Now lets factor in the X factor, the one that destabilizes the dollar causing it to consistently loose purchasing power.
After World War I 1914-1919, Germans were taking their pay checks home in a wheel barrow. They had lost a World War and to keep them down their colonies (the empire on which they had relied on to support the Homeland) were confiscated and to meet the onerous reparations inflicted on them for the destruction they had caused, the Deutche Bank just kept prnting money and because industry and commerce (jobs) were all but non-existent and bread was very scarce, hyper inflation was the result. It led to a world monetry crisis and spawned a savior whom history knows as Hitler and led to World War II. Tut! Tut! Haven't we learnt anything? Every one saw it coming but everyone kept their heads in the sand.
We flattened Iraq and Afganistan from 30,000 ft and we now we are printing money to rebuild them. Do you really think after killing well over 1 million of their people that Iraq is going to give us any of their oil?
But I digress lets go back to our story. The bank that printed a dollar for you, to buy vegetables from John, was asked a few minutes later by the Government if they could borrow a dollar for one of their welfare recipients (a person claiming unemployment, claiming food stamps, to pay for a Government entitlement, in other words any welfare program). The Bank (READ FEDERAL RESERVE) who hadn't been paid back by you yet, because John hadn't as yet bought his fish from you for $1.00. So the FED printed another dollar for the Government to give to it's the welfare recipient. But before the FED gives the newly printed dollar it asks the Government to put up collateral for the loan. For collateral the Government agrees to put up a US Treasury Note or a Government interesting bearing Bond. To put it in today's perspective, whenever our money is printed at the request of our Elected Federal Goverment the American People are obligated by our own Elected Federal Government to pay interest on our own money to a Foreign Bank that hides behind the name 'The Federal Reserve. Again I've digressed, so lets go back we go to our story of You, John, the Welfare Recipient and the Federal Reserve (FED).
Now here's the rub once that X factor has been introduced (read-welfare or anyone who doesn't produce a product read public sector) into the mix, The FED will never get that particular printed dollar back from the welfare recipient since the welfare recipient didn't borrow it. That money has increased the money supply and will float around forever without ever returning to the possession of the FED until someone wants to deposit or convert it to another currency or import products from China or India or take a holiday in a foreign country. Now since the Government has been floating tens of trillions of dollars in this fashion for the last 98 years, no one has a clue where any of these dollars are and in whose hands they are in. If the money supply remains unchecked with billions upon billions of easy money dollars (it was never earned it was given) floating out there. It can only lead to the constant inflation each and every year (disguised as 'the cost of living index').
This year Obama says that there is no inflation and Social Security recipients will not get their customary raise (cost of living allowance) to their old age pension (social security). I ask you when did he and his wife go out and buy their own food?
Supply has to catch up with demand, so if credit is easy to get to buy durable goods; housing, cars, appliances etc: prices go up, if credit is tight prices go down. Simple as that.
The FED calls the shots (they set the interest rates) not us or our elected government. Our economy is in their hands and through their hirelings (our elected politicians) they continue to suck us dry.
Once there was more than 2 people and there are only 2 fishes it give the seller the opportunity to put up the price (the law of supply and demand).
There are some hard truths out there and only Proamericans can solve them.
It is a known fact that 65% of the the tax revenue that the Federal government collects from us is used to service our National Debt (that's interest only) no principal is being paid to reduce the debt (amount owed code name deficit).
America's credit card with the rest of the world is about punched out. All we are doing is paying the interest. We are not paying down the debt. So far China continues to lend our Elected Government the money for our wars of choice in Iraq and Afganistan and now Libya (China has not commited any of their troops even though they have the biggest standing army in the world).
China and India together comprise of over 2 billion people. They are taught to despise us even more than they were taught to despise the British. What if tomorrow they decide to no longer use our American dollar as the Petro Dollar (all oil is presently deemed to be paid for in American dollars) and turn to the Chinese Yen or worse still a new international currency is created instead. Our dollar would collapse overnight.
The good news is that all of our States here in America are advocating isolationism for their particular State which would necessitate their residents buying instate produce and available instate products so the money earned or spent in their State remains in their State and can continue to benefit the people who live in their State. Wowee!!! now all we have to do is get our Elected Politicians to to cancel their memberships in THE COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS and be Proamericans first by giving up their desire to create a "New World Order" where they as internationalists can rule and control the world by redistributing our wealth (buying oil from the Saudis, when we have proven reserves that will last us for hundreds of years).
