We are witnessing the "new world order" it's just that most people have problems seeing history as it is taking place. Imagine an alliance between the U.S. and Russia? Better with India or even China. Healthcare in the U.S. as always been a problem because it is a business, it's not about keeping people healthy it's about waiting until they are sick and the screwing the population and the government. <br /><br />I chose to leave the U.S. many years ago. Now as an outsider I find it "isn't" the greatest place on Earth and my decision was right for me. Globalization is changing the way we live. I expect Trump to find some way to create an alliance with other major world player to become a world leader. You remember the adage, "one world one government". It may just be in our lifetimes.living.boondockingmexicohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17157433834193440923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5414957110325310952.post-50284951145611053112016-11-09T16:35:25.899-08:002016-11-09T16:35:25.899-08:00You know I am extremely happy living in the US.

But US citizens will have it worse. When standing back and taking a look at his campaign promises, I see him creating an isolationist nation and quitting or resigning from our participation in a global economy. As you probably know, some of the characteristics of an isolationist nation are high tariffs for foreign products' entry into US, falling currency values (good for Canadians) due to foreign citizens not buying US dollars to invest in our bonds and stocks, domestic manufacturing of products for mostly domestic consumption at higher prices because global pricing competition will not be permitted, just to name a few. Therefore, no growth for domestic industries beyond its US borders. As Donald has stated, there will be severe penalties for those American industries which move any of their plants outside of US borders and attempt to export those foreign-made products back into the US. Most of the US environmental protections will go out the window. Coal workers will go back to work, but subsidies for pollution-free new energy sources, like wind and solar, will be cut. Our US military will be pared down because, as Donald said, the US will resign from NATO. We have not been an isolationist country since before World War I. As Canadians, please pray for us. <br /><br />Dee<br />Summerville, SCDee Tillotsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01602508098099644096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5414957110325310952.post-1875673171882538432016-11-09T11:54:25.869-08:002016-11-09T11:54:25.869-08:00Still headed down this week?Still headed down this week?Shadowmosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17302898633500446571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5414957110325310952.post-3412836563467073292016-11-09T11:41:53.853-08:002016-11-09T11:41:53.853-08:00The polls could not have been more wring, except f...The polls could not have been more wring, except for that one LA Times one which stood out from the rest but ended up being very close.Crofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17634815881045387152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5414957110325310952.post-89988885936163129332016-11-09T11:34:47.219-08:002016-11-09T11:34:47.219-08:00Not going to gloat since I didn't vote for him...Not going to gloat since I didn't vote for him and don't care for him but it looks like the polls were wrong despite your statement.<br /><br />So maybe we can commiserate after all.Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17501973193828340382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5414957110325310952.post-91764390437036895882016-11-09T11:13:20.370-08:002016-11-09T11:13:20.370-08:00We elected a grandson of a pimp who made his first...We elected a grandson of a pimp who made his first fortune running brothels in the Yukon,went back to Germany,got kicked out to the US for being a draft dogger for not fulfilling his military service.In the US he had donalds father who discriminated againts blacks and jews who was part of the KKK,taught his son the building business with a 200 million dollar loan and bank quaranties,the guy still goes bankrupt....several times,gee I guess 4-times.hey mr potus,quess that apple didn't fall far from the.......insert whatever you wish!cantinero 46https://www.blogger.com/profile/05411076889570114047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5414957110325310952.post-2096903525953267042016-11-09T10:57:56.592-08:002016-11-09T10:57:56.592-08:00Perfect summary.
