Loading ...Why is it, that nobody talks about how well off we all were in 1970, when all the cars on the road were American made? Is it because everybody gleefully bought those imported cars?
1970 the media told us the UAW workers were making too much money and ruining the country. They also told us globalization would be good bc Americans would get cheaper high quality products. But the imports killed jobs and lower profits salaries and less tax income for the gov’t
n 1970 salaries were so high, that wives stayed home with the kids. Today middle class pay with wife home requires $200,000 annually. We also had zero national debt. We made everything here, TV sets, clothing, tools, machinery etc etc.
You people that hate Trump are pro global, anti American, being emotional rather than being practical, and you don’t even know about the decline of US living standards since 1970’s peak, and Trump represents the silent majority, a reversal movement of the past decline.
My opinion is a fact, the USA’s federal government is influenced by foreign special interests. We have a $34 trillion national debt n continuous trade imbalance because they took away our domestic consumer products manufacturing industries and gave them away to foreign nations.
Anybody that thinks Trump is bad for the USA economy, has no idea how good it was from 1945 to the 1970 peak. High school kids were buying new cars, with 3 year loans, getting married n having kids. Trump wanted to bring that back. I don’t care about his personality.
