this is why isolationism will never work...

...or, at least work out well for most Americans. If you read this, and realize the investment community is hunting into opportunities like this, globally, around the clock and around the world, you'll see it. Curling up in a ball and closing the borders on all levels is just suicide for non investors in the US. The money will just flow elsewhere, and while our investment community is a significant player it isn't the sole player and hasn't been for a long time.

Globally and closing the borders....pfttt, that's so yesterday.
"Bell bottoms" are out and 'Straight legs' are in....

How'd that "isolationism" work out in the middle east, Ukraine, Europe and Venezuela?
How'd that "global investment" work out for the U.S. economy...un and under employment?
How'd it work out for the Democrat Party?

Hell, it ain't even working out for you, in yer own thread.
