Was globalization the #1 killer of the "American Dream?"

'Globalization' is only a result of State policy - the State policy which kills poors is capitalism, sg.

Even done to the god-awful cars. Not many, but more than is pleasant to think about.

Come on, Al, you're British.  You surely can't be on a high-horse about automobiles, can you?

The #1 killer of the American Dream has been the marked increase in inequality. There's no demand for anything because all the money is in the hands of a few people. Demand is not just wishing and hoping. It's having the dollars to back it up.

And all the dollars are still there, real GDP still being produced every day, its just being hoarded by the class that needs a guillotining.

Globalization is how our world works. We're using the internet and therefore partaking in the participation of supporting globalization. I always get a kick out of people who use the internet to organize protests against globalization.

You can pick and choose, BB.  Talk to a Chinaman, but don't buy his ping-pong balls.

Al - about British cars - I actually quite like some of them, the middle one you pictured is quite cute.  And, they weren't nearly as bad as their negative reputation.

Well we should be reevaluating our trade policies every two years and placing tariffs on countries that manipulate currency. This would make foreign products more expensive in the U.S. causing more American products to be bought here and possibly even countries like China having to rely on their own consumers to buy their products.

Currencies?  Wage labor rates are something like 1/20th of American levels, bbag.  currency manipulation is unimportant.

Currency manipulation as in their products are sold here for more than what they're worth there.

Think you've got that backwards, buddy.  The idea of currency manipulation is to make products cheaper in the target country.

Yeah GF foreigners never bought any significant portion of American production.  We should have closed the market.
