Another of my blog posts, this one concerning America's Soul. Hint: America's Soul is Manufacturing.


It originally started as a reply here, but I decided to publish it myself.

In another note, I like the ship on the banner (It's the Samuel B Roberts of Leyte Gulf fame), it's supposed to represent Ragnar's ship. But it's a bit plain, and I fear it's not clear what it is. Any suggestions of ways I can upgrade it?

    I'd love to be wrong. But the REAL unemployment numbers are higher than the worst times of the Great Depression. Workforce participation is at an 40 year low. Earnings are down. Savings are down. And on top of that Inflation is up severely. Congress is getting richer, and the poor are getting poorer.

    It is no coincidence that all of this is happening at a time when the number of people working in ALL of manufacturing is exceeded by the number of people working in Government alone. How tenable do you think it is that the number of people that actually make a product in this country are far, far, far, far, FAR outnumbered by the takers?

    Don't get me wrong, the country's demise won't be sudden. It'll be a long, drawn out process. Things like extreme governmental debt will take hold. Like the $200,000,000,000,000 in unfunded Government Liabilities. And the Federal Reserve will just be printing money. To the tune of $1,000,000,000,000 per year. And the number of people who pay taxes will be less than the number of people who don't. Like the 48% it's at currently.

    If any of those things were happening, I'd be worried. But things are fine, right?
