[quote=luchabee]Liberal policies are predicated on the idea that American businesses are what they once were, but with globalism, we really don’t have much anymore. So, like GM and California, liberals have killed our competitiveness and the nation as a whole is next. In sum, globalism would have turn us into England inevitably (no significant manufacturing base, etc.), but liberalism helped to get us there a whole lot quicker.[/quote]
Laff.
Clinton left his knee pads in the White House along with specific instructions on how the Chinese like it best. Bush strapped ’em on and went to work. U.S. Corporate interests provided the music and breath mints, as always. Obama has already sent half (seemingly) of his cabinet to China, and I don’t think they were there to see the Great Wall. If you need help connecting the dots, look at the historical trade deficit numbers and which U.S. corporations profit from a cheap labor pool.
There is no discernable difference between the world trade policies of the Clinton, Bush, and Obama administrations–“conservative” vs. “liberal” just doesn’t enter into it. Follow the money.
