The Realities behind the bail out of Big Money and the turning off our American auto industry.
The illusions of the Globalists are still alive. Free Trade is not trade. It is primarily about moving factories from place to place making production portable and mobile based on the cheapest labor possible. At at time when the U.S. economy based on making money on money instead of making things, the tangible values and assets are dwindling away. Labor and workers are one of the last tangible values and assets left and yet the Globalist Free Traders want to keep deflating it. Labor and workers are most likely the last money standard left in the world. We have actually have had deflation when it comes to this value in our economic balances.
700,000 jobs related to the steel industry were the first to go. Then came 400,000 related to the auto industry in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Following this, more than a million workers lost their jobs in the computer industry. At the same time many main streets in our cities across our land died.
President Clinton came and consummated Free Trade in the passing of NAFTA and GATT. Soon after NAFTA was passed, President Clinton and the "Contract with America" Republicans rushed $20 Billion dollars to Mexico to bail out the Mexican peso and economy. President Clinton wanted to send more and said he would find a way through the international money fund to send Mexico more money. In turn, the USA was flooded with imports like the PT Cruiser automobile made by $1 an hour workers in Mexico. After something like this, how could anyone be against helping out our own American auto manufacturers. We send billions of dollars to a foreign nation and can not help out our own as cheap imports flood land backed by this bail out.
Then we have state governments with the help of federal money too, pour out $3.6 Billion of of dollars to foreign auto assemblers to build their plants in the USA. One state even paid $40 million dollars for a airplane run way to bring in component parts. Another state gave an order for 2,500 Mercedes Bentz automobiles to bind a $500 million dollar payout to that company.
After this, how can anyone now say that our own American auto manufacturers do not deserve help. The U.S. federal government start funding the moving of factories outside the USA starting in 1956. This "temporary program" never ended and it grew into so called Free Trade. It is time for our political leaders to tell us who said we had to compete like this in a global economic arena. Who are these "Benedict Arnolds"? Now we have Big Money being bailed out by Small Money with this all acting as a tariff on workers and labor
