Closed minds talk about open markets
November 11th 2010 01:32
We keep hearing about Open Markets but it is more like having closed and isolated ones
The Republicans take over - but the same old song is played again and again.
It is the same old song President Clinton played on his saxophone while the American Dream was reversed. See or google Tapsearch Clinton
Human Dignity in the work day has been thrashed
I have yet to read any real objective report about the anti-globalists from any major news channel. The main commodity of so called Free Trade is the worker and human dignity in the workday. It is not about establishing open markets. We have created a working poor class here in the USA who can not even afford to buy the cheaper imports. Many of our workers are homeless. At the same time the destitute workers abroad who make our products for us, can not afford to buy the very things they make let alone buy anything the U.S. may have left to sell. This kind of free trade breeds terrorism and wars. The great need of our times is the need for real jobs and not wars.
Globalism has bred terrorism and wars. It was Franklin Roosevelt who said economic diseases are highly communicable. It is now an epidemic across the globe. The U.S. has gone through the most massive dislocation of workers in its history without any real relief. The jobless rate is really 25% as the term underemployment loses its definition. The major news channels ignore this and the fact that a single mother making only about $100 a month is condidered employed. And millions are missing in action and their status goes unreported. Millions have given up looking for work as only about 38 percent of all American workers qualify for unemployment.
The stock market still thrives on people getting fired instead of hired. And now President Obama has poured billions of dollars more to keep the funny money monopoly game going. The stock market celebrates when a company shows big dividends but no one questions how many workers they still have in the USA. One company that I once worked for and had about 5,000 employees, now has its factories in Korea with only about twenty-five independent sales reps left in this country. That is all that is left of the company while its face to the customer in the USA is still the same.
The U.S. started funding and sponsoring moving production outside the USA in 1956. This is what led to burn out cities and towns in our country. Now the free enterprise system is controlled by governments acting as brokers on the world stage with international organizations making rules outside any real democratic process. Top trans-national corporate leaders tells us we need to forget about our hang ups about sovereignty and think global instead. At the same time we fight wars against terrorism with this being something out there with a name without any real substance of who or what is responsible for the terror. It is subsistent living farmers who are put out of business while the massive trans national corporations still enjoy the subsidies going back to the New Deal. The little farmer is squashed like a bug here in the U.S. and in places like Mexico not the consortiums that defy fair trade. In the end we have a good example of things to come when we read that 18 States in the U.S. use workers in India to process welfare clients here. Any job can be outsourced including news reporters. Perhaps it may be a better world when the latter happens. And I wonder about others who leave out free trade and globalization as the major cause of our global economic crisis. The crisis is did not evolve from local economies.
