American Antiques, Ronald Reagan, Technocracy - No More Depression with NAFTA

By: Derek Dashwood

During time periods of American antiques and history, the Depression was a very difficult for anyone to try to survive. Such deep fears known then die as those who experienced that lost ten years die. And while the depression has long since faded, it was real as modern economics models show. As the fear of a depression spread, national borders began to close around the world.

And economic models show how that began a sinking spiral of trade shrinking, then the economies, until a shrinking inward spiral kept shrinking until the world economy was half the size of 1928 by 1933. Foolish acts created less pie for all.

During that same time, America, feeling poorly and unable to cope, had the fears of a new revolutionary wave sweeping Russia, and the seemingly fairness to all appealed to many. One clever capitalist plot was to create a Metro America that could be as large, extensive, filled with natural resources and products from northern oats to pineapples as seemed the new Russia. And to many, including the young and eventual President of the United States, Ronald Reagan.

Reagan was satisfied that Technocracy showed that if Canada with it's nearly four million square miles of land joined with the more than three million square miles of America and the one million of Mexico, then we were as mighty and self sufficient as the eight million square miles of the Russian Empire, and could survive anything. And you know that Ronald Reagan. When he got something in his mind, he did tend to get his way.

And during a period of great uncertainty and the Soviet Union and issues seemed to loom, Ronald Reagan led that charge that some now fear called NAFTA, or the North American Free trade Agreement. And as all scholars can agree, in general this agreement has been a lifting of all boats. And always, some have been hurt, but unlike the fears of many, it has hurt all ways.

Even Mexico finds labor factories being shut down and moved to lower cost Asia. Many feel pain and uncertainty, but our overall economies have greatly been deepened and straightened by this action.

Do you see any participant of the expanding Europe say they want out? No, many want in to the mutual prosperity and security. They realize that the larger the Club becomes, the more it not only surpasses Russia, off fearful in the gas fields, but America, and will give China a run for it after all so many keep wanting in to their expanding Club.

Ronald Reagan did give, as has George W. Bush, what Bush senior referred to as "Voodoo Economics". G.H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton had to undo that or America would bankrupt itself. Same elephant mess to clean up this time, only so much worse. Ronald Reagan and G.H.W.B helped tear down that wall. The incumbent keeps banging his head against the walls he has created. Too long here, too late gone. Confucious could not have said it better. Peace. And balance that budget. End that War.
