Dang, Trump did it again and the polls show broad support for economic nationalism!

Poll: 3-in-4 Voters Favor 'America First' Immigration, Trade, War Platform

About 3-in-4 American voters favor a populist-nationalist “America First” legal immigration, trade, and foreign policy platform from candidates running for office that prioritizes protecting the way of life and economic security of United States citizens above all else.
The latest Harvard/Harris Poll finds near unanimous support for populist-nationalist candidates among Republicans, conservatives, and President Trump supporters, as well as a majority of support from all voters.

The findings are the latest evidence that the open borders, globalization, and endless wars ideology of former administrations — such as President George W. Bush’s — has very little support with the American electorate.

"On Sept. 12, the U.S. Census Bureau released national poverty data for 2017.

"The headline was that 39.7 million people were poor in 2017. This works out to 12.3 percent of the population or 1 in 8 Americans.

"The good news is that the U.S. poverty rate has fallen since 2010, when it hit 15.1 percent, and is now where it was before the Great Recession.

"The bad news is that poverty still exceeds the 11.3 percent rate of 2000 and far too many people are poor in a country that is so rich.

"Another bit of bad news is that things look even worse if we use what many scholars like myself believe is a better poverty measure."

The richest country in history has never been richer, yet 1 in 8 of its residents live in poverty; who gets rich from that?

We are the richest country in the world because we are the most free country in the world.

In America, the biggest health issues among our poor revolve around obesity, not starvation.

In America, our poor often have big screen TVs and cable/sattelite.

America's poor live better than the vast majority of non-Americans.

America is the richest country in history because it relied on chattel slavery for the first hundred years of existence, and an economic free ride since 1971 "by obliging global central banks to finance US balance-of-payments deficits by using their surplus dollars to buy US Treasury bonds, whose volume quickly exceeded America's ability or intention to pay."

Too many are too poor? At this time it is largely a choice or intractable difficulties. Some people are poor because of medical bills. and some are poor because they are addicts.

Presidential policies cannot fix that, doofus but you can always still blame Trump and use pics of his wealthy to evoke resentment and jealousy, which is about all your lefturds are good for any more outside of beating up old ladies and sucker punching people on the street.

That is one pile of horse shit lies, and you would know that if you were not an ignorant pisshead.

About 80% of the economic development of the first half century of American Republic Took place in the anti-slavery North, so no, slaves did not build everything you stupid fucking liar.

And we cannot simply obligate foreign central banks to pay us jack, except the ones who borrowed from our banks, the IMF and so forth. The rulers of these countries often stole all that, but you probably think that is our fault too since you are a hate America first moron.

Well, define starve.

We have the children of addicts that starve due to bad parenting.

We have kids that go to bed hungry every night because their father worked in a not politically correct industry and lost his job. etc.

We have people who are starving in the sense that they are almost always hungry because they cannot afford to eat and more who cannot afford healthy food.

We do have starvation in our country, but it dresses better and is distracted more effectively.

Have you ever heard of King Cotton?

How King Cotton Influenced American History

".by 1860, there were more millionaires (slaveholders all) living in the lower Mississippi Valley than anywhere else in the United States.

"In the same year, the nearly 4 million American slaves were worth some $3.5 billion, making them the largest single financial asset in the entire U.S. economy, worth more than all manufacturing and railroads combined.

"So, of course, the war was rooted in these two expanding and competing economies—but competing over what?

"What eventually tore asunder America's political culture was slavery's expansion into the Western territories."

What happens when US dollars build up in foreign central banks because consumers in this country buy more foreign than domestic goods? Foreign banks have only one option and that is to recycle those surplus dollars into US Treasury bonds, which help subsidize the US military empire world-wide and America's own domestic budget deficit.

"In fact, the larger the US balance of payments grows, the more dollars mount up in the hands of foreigners to be recycled to finance the US budget deficit."

LOL, that is so stupid.

There are plenty of things governments can do with excwess US dollars, like:

1. pay down on any debt to the USA.
2. Invest the money in our stock market and various equities.
3. loan the money to local business start ups to expand their own economy as USD is taken by anyone everywhere on the planet, lol.

You are too stupid to waste any more time on.

Welcome to my ignore list.

Oh, and the North had far more wealth being created than a handful of wealthy cotton plantation owners, dumbass.
