It isn't just China but India too. The outsourcing of jobs from the U.S.
to them meant a rising middle class would happen and that's what is
putting such a squeeze on oil, copper, etc.

Globalism had some benefits for us, so long as it kept the source
nations relatively poor. Once you open up the floodgates the game is
over.

It won't be long now until the love affair with outsourcing starts to
sour, because by then the U.S. economy will liken that of a third world
nation and it'll be cheaper to make it here.

And tin. Gold. Concrete. Rice. Steel. Wheat. As a couple of billion
more people want to be middle-class, things get strained.


If they'd just get the government out of the way, and let the Free
Market operate naturally, everyone will get richer. The problem is
way, way, way too much government regulation, taxes, etc, etc, etc...

Government _ALWAYS_ makes things worse.

Thanks,

I can't help but think we need a Manhattan project or Kennedy's "Man on the
moon" program to find new sources of energy for the next decade.

Or remove capital gains tax from energy research companies and let the
free market do it.

The solution will not be one source, it will be many. Solar, wind (Teddy,
I don't care about your view from Martha's Vineyard) oil from algae (not
corn, stupid, stupid, stupid, politicians got bought by the farmer lobby)
and conservation (ooh!)

our cars will be smaller in ten years.

Oxymoron. Remove capital gain taxes on everything.
