i always repost this blogger as the information therein is always accurate and on point. today's post is no different. we're on our way to troubled times that most can't imagine, let alone have the skills to survive;

I read a few months ago that American’s monthly trade deficit in physical goods was $93.6 billion. In January it had grown to $107.6 billion. This horrendous trade deficit was by design.

Our trade deficits were not huge until the Clintons passed the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA.)

Wassily Leontieff won a Nobel Prize for his input-output analysis of the American economy. He concluded that American workers were the best paid in the world because they took raw materials from their country’s abundant natural resources and added the value of a skilled work force to produce final products.

No more. America had to import raw materials when her population went above 150 million. That need to import oil made it expensive. And the need to house an additional 183 million people has made rents go up. The average 2 bedroom apartment in the US is now $1,985 a month. That rising rent and the rising cost of food, oil, cars and utilities has made America unaffordable. But that was by design. Wall Street has supported unlimited legal and illegal immigration on order to lower wages of both skilled and unskilled workers while increasing their rents and taxes.

It is easier to control poor people than the middle class. Impoverished people could not afford to get involved in a truck convoy. Poor people could never buy enough gas and food for a 1,500 mile (2,414 Km) trip.........read more........
