Politicians unite against ´´Buy America Policy´´

[darkbeaver]

See above, those two cents? It's not much good to keep the value in those two cents locked behind a firewall. It should be allowed to pass unimpeded through international boundaries.

You can't close borders without shutting down opportunity and production in your own area...

And why exactly should capital be allowed to pass unimpeded accross borders and jurisdictions into someone elses back yard to extract from them and sell in preferred markets at huge profit? What does that do for Canadians beyond the two or three hundred elites? Capital flight regulations do not odinarily mean borders closed to goods and services, do they?

This trade crap is just primer for people to adjust to the fact that the NAU is the answer to these woes and is now just 4 months away.

We'll be one big happy family, or else. North America has a lot of useless eaters who won't be here in the spring maybe.

The United States economy was built by Alexander Hamilton on what became known as the American System. It's primary tenets were the empowerment of the productive capacity of American people through policies of a stable currency, public investment and ownership of critical infrastructure, available and affordable credit, and tariffs on the import of manufacture and agriculture with the specific intent of preventing unfair competition, and ensuring full and fairly compensated employment at the domestic level. In the U.S. and everywhere around the world where it was implemented it created growth, industrialization, integrated manufacture and equitably shared prosperity.

Have no doubt that the antithesis of this is in 'Free Markets', which has ruled the world since the collapse of the Bretton Woods Agreement in 1971, has FAILED, profoundly and catastrophically. Canada now has an army of unemployed and underemployed who are no longer recognized in official statistics. Our wealth is increasingly polarized between an ever diminishing group of haves, involved in speculation or trade, and have nots, who used to be involved in productive enterprise.

The 2 key components of this policy involves Free Trade which i have dealt with, and Monetarism. It is the latter that might be even more pernicious than the former. It treats money as a traded commodity, without reference to the dynamic national economy it was meant to support only as a means of exchange. The floating, globalized currency paradigm has become a decisive disincentive for domestic investment in the real physical economy. If prevents any predictability and stability in prospects for investment.

Both the U.S. and Canada have both the right, and the responsibility to promote domestic consumption of domestic production. That's what built both our economies. They have the duty also to develop monetary and fiscal properties that promote the General Welfare through full and fair employment, and encourage investment to advance technology and real wealth creation.

A constructive and reasoned dialogue is implicit with this trading partners to take advantage of positive aspects of international trade and cross semination of technology. The difference between this and so called Free Trade is the application of reason, rather than the mindless 'invisible' hand credulity accorded to a corrupt ideology.

It is only when we accepted the 'Free' Market dogma, that our nation impoverished itself, lost all sense of it sovereignty and prostrated itself before foreign bankers and traders, whose only aim was to plunder what they could of our assets and resources. It's all collapsing now. It is collapsing because it both untenable and immoral.

Protection does not mean isolation, it means a national economic identity. Free Trade does not mean enrolling ourselves in benign fraternity of nations, it means capitulation to a post national regime founded on greed and usery.

That's my 2 cents into the cup. :lol:

I agree, you get a lot out of two cents.

If all goes as planned the flu shots will take out the weak and old. If they truly wanted to curtail the spread of flus and other nasty viruses a law would be passed making it mandatory to stay home from work or going out in public if ill or give everyone the best defense which is a bar of soap and instructions on how to use it properly.

I am weak and old and stupid, guess I better smarten up and get my **** in order, seriously though I read it were the owners of good immune systems that were most likely to have their own immune system kill them. A bar of sunlight and a scrub brush and ice cold water will kill anything, young people today know fuk all.:smile:

I think this whole thing has been blown way out of proportion, old, weak, sick people die- that's Mother Nature's Way. If you survived the Asian Flu of 1957 you'll probably survive this one. Get the flu shot by all means but more important, eat your cabbabe & Swiss Chard regularly.

It sure has been blown out of proportions. Why? Besides the four to five hundred easy billions. The veggies for sure the vaccine not even with a gun to my head. We get mowed down by big money one way or the other all of our lives sometimes by the tens of millions. Why killing us by injection we have to pay for at exorbitant prices wouldn't be very profitable very smart modern efficient business escapes me. :smile:

Soap and social hygene are still the number one defense for viruses and bacteria.

The old, weak, sick people do die indeed but so do those with chemically suppressed immune systems from a really ****ty modern diet and antibiotic abuse.

Shot or no shot 10% of us are goners dues to the little mentioned epidemic known as MRSA (Methicillin resistant streptococcus aureus) which kills 10,000 Canadians a year not including those who die from the effecs of MRSA weakening their immune.

MRSA is very expensive to treat and HellCanada knows this. A 2 weeks run of vancomyicin or linezolid is $8000 - $10,000. It is sad to say but 10,000 die annually simply because it is cheaper to let them die.


With 10% of the population infected with MRSA the flu shot will indeed be expediting the demise of otherwise health MRSA carriers.

If you want to seriously up your odds of a long life ask your doctor for a MRSA blood culture.

so start eating as much cannabis as you can, you can add it to your muffins you can add it to your favouite booze you can freeze it on a stick and eat it, and it's good for you

 

[petros]

Start? Starting would mean stopping and I'm not going to do that.

 

[AnnaG]

Yep. Eat as much of it as you can. Engorge yourself on it 5 or 6 times a day if you like. But remember, too much of anything isn't really all that good for you.

Oh I see. So you want to put people like me out of a job, and destroy businesses which export products? You want to ensure I have a larger debt when I graduate, and that my prospects for employment are severely minimized?

The farmer I work for sells abroad, and the material he needs comes from abroad as well. Believe it or not, Canada doesn't produce all the services and goods we need to even sustain the economy we have now.

You can turn it into one of your elitist rants, but there are thousands of small business owners and medium business owners who also depend on trade without costly and unnecessary barriers. In this country and many others...
