I heard somebody take the position that those flooding over our southern border would actually be good for the economy.. What a deluded fool he was. That idea is as much crap as Reagan's "trickle down theory" of economics. It is the same kind of crap as capitalist scum saying that our jobs aren't coming back. Then there is the motherload of stupid things that Americans are being brainwashed into thinking is a good thing. Which is the idea that we are heading toward a service based economy.
For some, scabs and wage slaves may be a good thing. But not for the majority of Americans. Also, there will come a time when these people will demand to be treated better. What's the plan then. Import more scabs and wage slaves? Also, look at all of the jobs that were sent overseas. That definitely wasn't good for the U.S. For one thing, look at the trade imbalance with China alone. I have seen estimates of the trade deficit with them that ranged from over three hundred billion per year to over seven hundred billion per year.
For what the U.S. has probably lost, even that is probably peanuts. Here's a clue for the boneheads in government. Americans like to work! To do so without having to also get food stamps would be even better. But instead, the U.S. has lost a lot to crime. As for the victims of crime, who knows what they have lost. It probably also costs a pretty penny to have the largest percentage of its citizens in jail than any other counrty. There is another problem with sending jobs overseas or importing scabs. Which is that it is like union busting on steroids. But many good things have come from unions. Like less child labor, better working conditions, shorter hours and fewer days that need to be worked. But as it is, employers are basically now free to turn their workers up to eleven.
Oh if I were dictator. How things would change! But who would vote for a dictator. Especially one who was a Nazi sympathizer. Maybe when happy thoughts and fairy dust no longer buoys our monitary system, things will change. After all, a while ago Greece recently had an election. Because of their poor economic system, about a third of their voters voted for a Facist government. It's too bad the Facists didn't win.
