Loading ...Ever since the USA prosperity peak of 1970. Number one, the lack of minimum wage pay hikes to keep up with inflation, (should be at least $50/hr today) also unfair business competition from foreign countries.
Also American retailers and citizens were “fooled” into buying foreign made consumer products, out sourcing all our jobs. All the pro-foreign anti American lobbyists, fooled all our presidents and our representatives in Congress etc to go for the dumb ass unfair strong Dollar “free trade” bull crap.
They all succeeded in gradually making the USA a poor country by importing foreign PEOPLE and exporting our work. Also because US car makers had to compete with FOREIGN car makers they cut costs and made crappy US cars. Now we have trillions in national debt because of less taxes coming in.
Hopefully Trump with fix those things but I have my doubts because practically EVERYTHING we buy came from far far away.
Also the media of the 1970s kept telling everybody…”The United Auto Workers Union was ruining the country with their excessive pay scales” instead of saying the US Dollar was depegged from Gold. Because by 1971 FOREIGNERS were redeeming our exported Dollars for Gold at $34 when privately costing $140/oz.
So, instead of FOREIGNERS started taking away our GOLD after 1971, they switched, and took away all our consumer product manufacturing.
