All Solar, Et Al, In 12 Years?

[Cigar]

The Chinese kids in college here thank you for buying solar panels for them, isn't socialism great, you get slave labor that way.

My folks cousin's are somewhere south of Mt. Baldy around Pomona somewhere. They have a seven foot CLF in back to keep people from pilfering in their RV. And they have to pay extra to even park the RV on their lot.

Isn't the goal of US foreign policy to export the American Dream/Lifestyle?

Isn't this a sign that our way of life and love of consumption is winning the war?

Do you think these kids and/or their parents or their future kids will want to go to war against the US and give up the riches that they have? No way.

America wins!!!!

America wins only as long as we have something to give them. We are BORROWING money to give to Iran for the new no-nukes treaty. Did I say that yet, BORROWING the money that we will pay interest on, to give to Iran.

Meanwhile, seniors can take a medicare cut so po' folks can have health insurance.

When we become weak and defenseless, they will come in and take the rest of what they want.

Since there are just as many US made solar panel manufacturers here in the States, do you have a Buy American sticker on your Ford/Chevrolet/Chrysler?

What cars do the rich American kids drive? Isn't international capitalism great? You get slave labor that way.

1. The same irrational fears were said about Japan back in the '70s/'80s. Remember people smashing Japanese cars in protest? Remember the Michael Keaton movie "Gung Ho"?

2. Americans gnashing teeth when Japanese investors purchased Rockefeller Center? Eventually it was a money losing investment.

3. Americans thought Japan would own us, didn't happen. Was never going to happen.

4. China won't own us, never going to happen.

5. You must agree with Rand Paul's debate statement....I do. It's stupid to borrower money to give away (bribe) leaders of other countries. Paul said a variation of below in last night's debate.

Americans want the rest of the world to emulate us, what Americans don't want is the rest of the world to pass us by using our system. Watch what you wish for.

Looks like they already do considering how much we owe them...but controlling us...That is a different issue from "owning" us.

Japan influenced a lot of things in the 1980s. For one, it frightened car companies into realizing that the Vega's, Mavericks and Gremlins of the world were crap cars and the consumer wanted a better car. Remember, if you got 100,000 miles out of a car, it was exceptional. Today, 300,000 miles is the old 100,000. That is all a result of the American car companies building cars that frequently beat the Japanese quality..(I know, I know, diehard Toy or other maker fans don't believe it, but the numbers are probably pretty fair measure of "quality")

Japan is the model our FED has used in dealing with the crunch of 09... and the sobering truth is the playbook says we are going to be "down" for about 2 decades or more. China? Who knows. They are growing "too fast" but they also will be the # 1 economic power in the world eventually.

Try again.

It lost money because of the S&L crisis. Do you see a repeat of history here? No yield in foreign countries, their rich come here and buy real estate. We loosen lending (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) Oh no, an economic crisis and the value of real estate drops substantially. Sorry, you lose your investment.

This is the industry of central banking. They don't make things to sell. They don't provide anything of human value. They just keep moving the cheese until they put it the trap that slams shut on you, and they keep your cheese.

Why is it that people think this is not the way it is?

Dated, but a very good book

Just remember, running a trade deficit means you are exporting jobs besides the money that would have gone to workers here.
