"...[Americans]...[T]hey're afraid of stupidity...[T]hey're
afraid of uncertainty. They're afraid that people are giving away our country
(Donald Trump)."
Is Trump right? Are we giving our country away?

China growing at our expense: : "China's manufacturing-driven economy,
was up 13.9% from a year earlier in August, accelerating from 13.4% growth in
July. The figure was well above market expectations, and reversed-at least for
the moment-recent months' gradual slowdown from the 20.7% pace of the beginning
of the year.
The positive news from China contrasts with the loss of momentum in other major
economies. Data from the U.S. have been generally weak in recent months, with
unemployment stuck at high levels..."

Taxpayer dollars for stoves: "Hillary Clinton wants global standard for
cook stoves. What?
If you are looking at life, free market solutions, small government, and this is
unsustainable — this makes no sense. You say what — what is she doing? Cook
stoves?
But think of this story not through your eyes — their eyes. Things are
unsustainable. Global standards for cook stoves. The Earth has a temperature.
Redistribution of wealth and global framework. Re-read the goals. Clinton says
she wants to boost access to large-scale carbon financing. Redistribution of
wealth, because it's unsustainable.
She also added, "Our long-term goal is to have a universal adoption all over the
world." Global governance...""Glenn

Money to Brazil: "We issued a preliminary commitment last year to loan $2
billion to Brazil for oil exploration that is deeper than what we were doing
here, that was a danger to the planet.
Remember, that's why we're doing this. It's bad for the planet. Oil is bad and
drilling is bad for the planet.
So, why would we loan $2 billion? We'll lose $18 billion here and loan $2
billion to Brazil to do a drilling that is twice as deep of what we were doing
in the Gulf.
Then the Obama administration loaned $1 billion last year and just loaned
another $1 billion to Mexico to drill. Where? In the Gulf of Mexico — right
where we said it's a danger to the planet and we're closing 3,500 U.S. wells in
the Gulf.
Look at it through these eyes. Does that make any sense? I mean, how does this
help the American economy? We lose jobs. How does this help get us out of
foreign oil dependency? It doesn't.
We lose our resources. Does it help the environment? No, because we're giving
them money to drill right where we say we can't!
So, how does this policy help the United States? Poor countries around the
globe, it helps the poor countries around the globe because it redistributes the
wealth globally..."

Response to comment [from a "Christian"]: ["I just fell in love with a big, fat pig... (Trump)."] "Has anyone heard Trump's rant about Rosie O'Donnell? It's epic."
He doesn't mince words, does he?
Response to comment [from a "Christian"]: "...[I]f you are for union-backed, progressive policies for tariffing sweatshop nations like China, and banning outsourcing, say so..."
Outsourcing is fine for junk--not steel or energy. We should not have to be concerned with "buying American". Trade agreements should favor us not them.
Response to comment [from a "Christian"]: "So outsource "junk" jobs -- i.e., the kind that millions of unskilled Americans depend on to feed and clothe their families, but don't outsource the jobs of well off people..."
No, "junk" meaning trinkets/imports. China can make
finger traps but we don't want to loose important manufacturing in the U.S. It's
a big, bad world. We should remain prepared for war (Ec
3:8).
