I'm not ignoring the guy.....it's just that I'm bored with the chaos......

It's been awhile since I pounded on the "Biff" Presidency and it's not from lack of wanting but instead I've come to realize the repeated chaos from the current administration, to put it mildly, is ......simply boring.

Everyday there's an issue of some sort that just makes me think we (i'm pretty sure you understand the we that we are) don't need to interject any outside contrarian opinion or influence because the guy just does it to himself....over and over and over and over.

As he tries to turn back the clock and recreate industries that have no chance competing with low wage countries it becomes  very clear on one, and of course there are many, of the main differences between this administration and the previous administration......

For eight years we had a President who was telling people that the creation of new jobs would come from new sources and that the future would look different than the industrialized America that was constructed after WW 2, and that people would have to adapt and change.  People who worked with their hands would have to learn how to use computers. The previous guy stressed the fact that jobs would be created in a wide range of Eco-friendly industries and technology and that the sooner workers got on board the better off they would be.

The new guy wants everything to be the way it was in 1952.   As an example The United States was the world leader in steel, auto and furniture manufacturing and great cities were built around those industries and a powerful and vibrant middle class was formed and prospered for 30 years, with hardly any competition except for the Japanese and their well built automobiles in the early 70's.  

Then countries without middle classes and possessing huge body counts realized that America loves to do one thing.......SHOP.   And of course when one loves to shop one loves to get the best deal and getting the best deal means being able to save money.

How in the world can the American steel industry complete?  Even if they retooled every steel plant in the country the wage barrier alone would never allow for the best deal.  And if the retooling were done properly then automation would virtually eliminate any need for human hands.

In order for the United States to compete with the wages of China, Viet-Nam, and India salaries would have to be reduced by 75%.

THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.  

Reducing salaries by 20% is not going to happen.

Our Middle Class consumer is the backbone of our country.  There will always be a certain amount of people who shop at Nordstrom's but compare the numbers to Costco and Wal-Mart and you see the reality.

It's nationalism versus globalization and without another World War there's no going backwards.

WE ARE THE INNOVATORS AND WE MUST ACCEPT THE FACT THAT OTHER COUNTRIES CAN BUILD BASIC GOODS CHEAPER THAN US.

LET THEM USE THEIR WORK FORCE AND CREATE THE PRODUCTS WE DESIGN.

WE WILL THEN BUY IT AND USE IT AND BUY SOME MORE.

BUT THAT CAN'T WORK IF WE DON'T FIGURE OUT NEW WAYS TO CREATE REVENUE FOR OUR MIDDLE CLASS.

AND 
WE CAN'T LET THE WEAPONS INDUSTRY EXPAND TO A POINT WHERE THE GOODS THEY MAKE ALL HAVE TO BE USED...... SO THEY CAN MAKE MORE.

RENEWABLE ENERGY
ECOLOGICAL AWARENESS 
ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY
SUPERIOR ENTERTAINMENT
UNEQUALED SERVICE

These are just a few of the avenues we can dominate but with our current leadership there appears to be no interest 
other than
expanding Twitter, trying to invent Clean Coal 
      using up fossil fuels as fast as possible
           stopping any progress related to health care
....and of course the main problem....
reversing any previous attempt to improve the quality of our
air
and
water.

By the way it's been 14 months since he took office and the amount of changes and legal issues in his administration have set records that will never be broken.....AND HE'S JUST GETTING STARTED.

I'm bored with his entire agenda and I'm simply hoping that the American public feels the same way.
Mid-terms are approaching and that should tell us something.,,,unless the GOP redistricting dealio has taken over completely
