Our ruling class, CEOS & the politicians, need to go nationalist, destroy the globalism business model & return jobs back to america. That means big fat tariffs on foreign goods & services.

Its repugnant that all our major beermakers are now owned by foreign corporations. That its impossible to buy a toy, or clothing, or a computer, made in the USA.

American workers are competing with $1/hour in 3rd world countries thanks to globalism. Time to get off the free trade wagon & start building american products for american consumers.

It might help also if american parents would make their children put aside the mcdonalds & video games & educate themselves for a higher tech economy. But that may be asking too much.
We're a service economy now. We outsource most of our jobs overseas and wonder why we have an astronomical trade deficit. Good post though.
