re: #211 cliffster
Are you suggesting that we should not trade with other nations?
NIce straw man attempt! No not at all. I am saying that ethics should be part of the consideration in addition to profit when we do trade! I am saying that a sensible economic model is a sustainable one and I am saying that the needs of America as a whole should be taken into account when considering regulations and de-regulations.
I am saying that we had the greatest golden egg laying goose in history and that because some powerful and wealthy few thought that those eggs just somehow weren’t big enough, they had to roast the goose to the long term detriment of all.
I am saying that economics is about more than just short term greed and that the long term must always be accounted for.
