Tariffs and sky high audio prices.

As Haredim might say we are all miracle of Creation. They are probably right.

I agree with your latest post on China but they are norm, and in comparison to North Korea, Saudi Arabia, and even Russia, they look less and less onerous. Yet, our leaders make deals with them and personally profit from it and when the cameras are on, they denounce them when it suits them.

Nothing bad will be said about Russia since a certain someone still wants to build his hotel there after he leaves office.  That same certain someone went around Congress and gave high tech nuclear info to the very country that flew two airliners into the World Trade Center just 16 days after they butchered a journalist with American legal residency. 

Take your pick. It's like floating down a river of shite and picking out one turd and saying, "this one really pisses me off."

All the best,

They are not our leaders, they manage corporation America the way they see fit, and they almost own it.
I heard educated rumors that Facebook has a very tight link to CIA/NSA.   

Well, the topic at hand is our tariff policies with China. It has, however, morphed into a conversation about the general overall corruption in our government. Corruption exists on both sides of the aisle. Is there anyone here who would disagree with that?

In reading the posts here, I think we are all pretty much on the same page. How we see the solution is the problem. I take more of a liberal stance ... in the Jeffersonian sense, that is.

It has been said: ... "Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely." With that in mind, why would any liberty devotee want to increase the power of the central government and take power away from the states in order to do so?

PS: ghasley ... Once again, I appreciate your well thought out posts. Excellent, thank you.

Frank, they will delete this thread if we go into the details of power distribution and political structures. What you quoted regarding power was already known to African Homo Sapience hundreds of thousands years ago.
