Nobody’s Fool: Pat Buchanan

Nobody’s Fool

He’s called a right-wing conservative nut, but when it comes to the “big picture”, Hillary could take some lessons from Pat Buchanan.

I’ve read many of his books, and he explains our dire situation that America is in with facts and solid numbers.

I wanted to share this piece he wrote on WMD in my files. It’s called, How the GOP Lost Middle America.

Here’s an excerpt:

To understand why and how the Republican Party lost Middle America, and faces demographic death, we need to go back to Bush I.

At the Cold War’s end, the GOP reached a fork in the road. The determination of Middle Americans to preserve the country they grew up in suddenly collided with the profit motive of Corporate America.

The Fortune 500 wanted to close factories in the USA and ship production abroad – where unions did not exist, regulations were light, taxes were low, and wages were a fraction of what they were here in America.

Corporate America was going global and wanted to be rid of its American workforce, the best paid on earth, and replace it with cheap foreign labor.

While manufacturing sought to move production abroad, hotels, motels, bars, restaurants, farms and construction companies that could not move abroad also wanted to replace their expensive American workers.

Thanks to the Republican Party, Corporate America got it all.

Congratulations Pat! Everything you have predicted in your books is coming true. At the helm of our politicians, America is falling….

You win the Nobody’s Fool Award for the decade.
