Then they need to step up to our standards and stop sending very dangerous trash our way.

The USA did pretty good for 175 years until it got more and more involved to "help" the rest of the world and shifted towards """"global economy""" the result is just a chain reaction in negative influences. Any bank outside the US can and did by stocks and the European banks played a giant role in the housing collapse.

Without their money that house of cards had never risen that large.

The US need to look more to the inside than to the outside. Any $US spent in the east is to a high degree used to buy weapons. All these guys over there are not friendly to us - they never reached out and helped us in any way or shape.

Judged on global basis, global economy - workers united....
That's all socialism propaganda words.

Global?
Ask, Greece - France - Russia - Serbia - Ukraine - Poland - Slovakia - Armenia - Romania - et cetera et cetera how well that socialism work/worked for them - - global hehehe
