Well I guess the experiment of NAFTA, GATT and the WTO did not work?. We use to be able to get out of these situations with our manufacturing companies, but we don't manufacture anything anymore.

We have outsourced that to other countries to do, so now what do we the US, have to sale to the world to get out of this?. My answer is nothing, we have become a debtor nation that owes more than what we are worth. That is never a good situation to be in, even if we had a major war, I don't see us being able to turn this around in time.

Wars used to turn countries economies around and put people back to work. That was in the industrial period. We are in the tech and outsourcing period. I wonder what we can do to solve this?, I don't see an answer. I would say that maybe it's time that everybody learns how to hunt and fish again.
