I guess there's no point in talking about it.

As for the video, if there was 3 parts, I guess you shoulda given me 3
links, eh? Walter Williams wasn't quite so fat in those days, was he?

I think you could be president of the "hate America first" crowd...

Thieves whine when they're expected to pay for the services they use.

We did accomplish it as part of the destruction of our economy. But
then everyone realized the Europeans were even worse off, so theirs
fell as well. And the yen is all linked in with it as well.

The renminbi yuan is a different story; the Chinese government is
holding it low, subsidizing Westerner consumers on the backs of their people,
while keeping a nice cut for themselves. Not really much we can do
about it unless you want to engage in serious protectionism, which
will likely damage us as much as them.

Don't be ridiculous. Not "if we're weak". In fact, it won't return;
it'll just never go away. Were you to get your replacement tax
passed, they start the new tax on Year 1 and "phase out" the old tax
by Year 5. Then some "emergency" would happen during the "phase out"
and it would end up indefinitely postponed.
