so you’re saying that you dont want America or any of us to maximize our profits? That is the nature of the market, and if you dont know that you need to recognize it. And your entire rant about short term gain vs sustainability clearly makes no sense. Every big company will hollow out? I guess P&G, Wal-Mart and Exxon Mobil type companies, all American owned and operated companies who have been and will remain around for another 100+ years will hollow out. They all take risks, buying little companies that sometimes dont pan out or buying shares in other companies that flop. America is about making a quick profit.
We clearly demonstrate the ability to build and produce offerings to the world. How else have we gotten by with this crackpot in the white house. Granted, it is not entirely his fault (whole other story) but you have to be kidding me when you state," we wont have anything to offer to the world economy." I guess having the highest GDP (third fastest growing) in the world isn’t good enough for you.
