I know what I'd do. It'd work too.

Coming Soon: A Post-American World

Nah- we're already there

I watched another "China's Taking Over" report yesterday on Sunday Morning (Coming Soon, a Post-American World)..  We're seeing more and more of this, which is a good thing, because something had better wake us up, and I mean right now.  Quoted sources claim China's economy will equal ours in a few years, and double it by 2030.  American tax and immigration policy were cited as requiring attention, although we didn't learn whether they meant more, or less of both (this is CBS after all).  The cute little tag line was that "while we were urging other nations to globalize, we forgot to globalize ourselves." Let's get something straight here, Mr.  CBS guy. American ingenuity, planning, and industry did not suddenly succumb to a hammerlock laid on by the Chinese.  We're still there.  Still innovative in ways China can never hope to be, with it's restrictive culture. What happened is taxes, environmental regulations, and business liability concerns have made it virtually impossible to manufacture here anymore, let alone do it profitably.  Starting a new business is fraught with so much regulation, and insurance costs as to be a deal killer. We know who's responsible, too.  Don't we? UnpluggedI'm not optimistic about chances that an aroused citizenry can change things.  Look at what's happening with proposals to drill our own oil resources, even with an outraged public.   Democrats in congress have simply rejected it. It does not comport with their Birkenstock  mentality. Nope, I'm afraid we need a Caesar crossing the Rubicon, and retuning the Republic.  Not as good as before, but better than what we're in for.  I'll guarantee one damn thing, Caesar would have marched his legions into California ages ago.¿No habla ingles? my ass.
