During the 200,plus years of Americas existence, we have subsidized several countries that now are fiscally better off than we are. Our innate humanitarianism could be our last straw. Japan has become a leader in innovation electronically and industrially. Germany is a major player in the European economy. Both of those country’s have benefitted from our post war largesse and far distanced us in development and manufacturing. We have allowed companies to move jobs and manufacturing to second and third world countries at the loss millions of jobs, leaving factories unused and cities devastated. Now we want to blame the current President rather than the real culprits who number 535 more or less. How can these few people cause the damage done to our productivity? They have made enough progress at home where it is visible to hide the work they have done for  big businesses who have outsourced  manufacturing and other labor to the detriment of America. These companies have been subsidised with tax breaks to make these moves and we have paid for it. Now the 500 plus and their allies have teamed up to hang the Albatross of failure around the neck of the current president and any one else they can. They attempted to do this in previous administrations but we did not pay attention, now they are aiming us toward the first non white American President being at fault and if we do not wake up we will be even deeper in the hole than we are now with no ladders to crawl out with. America will become the home of the poor with Congress still reaping the harvest of their treachery and deceit.
