Federal Government Policy Failures 13124

The Federal Government failed to allow US Companies to keep their manufacturing in the US in the 1970s though high taxes and unnecessary regulations and allowed US Companies to move critical industries to foreign countries and lose their intellectual property. The US succumbed to the Globalism Scam when they should have lowered corporate taxes removed unnecessary regulations and stopped allowing US Labor Unions to blackmail corporations. Companies would have moved to Right-to-Work states and automation would have made up the difference. Jobs would have remained in Rural Couties and allowed Big Cities to remain smaller and more liveable. 

Now, Government continues to give away $billions in bribes to foreign countries, opened our borders to invasion by illegal immigrants and weaponized the Deep State. Biden signed up to the Climate Change Hoax and discouraged producing reliable energy and created inflation. Biden encouraged EV production and now nobody will buy them.

The embrace of Globalism began in 1988 with the Rio Accords when RINO George HW Bush signed on the UN Agenda 21. It accelerated in 1993 with the NAFTA trade agreement that signaled US manufacturers to off-shore their manufacturing. This removed US manufacturing from Rural counties and devastated their economies.

The worst policy failure was to encourage companies to off-shore their manufacturing operations with high taxes and unnecessary regulations. Government did not restrict manufacturers of critical products like anti-biotics and strategic products like steel from moving manufacturing off-shore.

US Manufacturing jobs peaked in 1983.

In 1979 there were 19.406 million jobs.

In 1983 there were 19.686 million jobs.

In 1998 there were 17.556 million jobs.

In 2009 there were 11453 million jobs. 

In 2010 there were 11.489 million jobs.

In 2019 there were 12.784 million jobs.

The increases in jobs were due to the increase in non-union manufacturing in Electronics from 1980 to 2000 and Trump’s efforts from 2017 to 2020. US manufacturing companies had been working on solving the quality problems and solved these by 2000 using Lean Manufacturing and Teams of Employees using Continuous Improvement. This allowed companies to off-shore their manufacturing operations more easily to take advantage of lower regulatory costs and labor costs. The Decreases in jobs were due to offshoring manufacturing of apparel, home furnishings, home appliances, chemicals, auto parts and electronics.

US consumers bought cheaply made goods from overseas plants from the 1990s to the 2020s because they were cheap. US consumers would like to see their automobiles and appliances last longer and would pay more for better quality. US consumers would like to see US companies return manufacturing to the US.  Labor-saving automation and increases in product throughput technologies will be needed to keep costs reasonable. The US can use High-Speed automated manufacturing to increase throughput.

Executive Order 10988 is a United States presidential executive order issued by President John F. Kennedy on January 17, 1962 that granted federal employees the right to collective bargaining.

The failures that occurred from 2001 to 2008 were on George W Bush’s watch. He was responsible for wasting $10 trillion on Nation-Building in Afghanistan and Iraq. His agencies failed to prevent 911 occurred in 2001 and he failed to recognize the Financial Collapse that occurred in 2008. Republicans selected RINO John McCain to run in 2008 and he lost to Obama.

The Financial Collapse was facilitated by Democrats citing Civil Rights and threatening Banks with Discrimination Suits and objecting to Republicans asking question.  Obama worked as a Lawyer threatening Banks.

The failures that occurred from 2009 to 2014 were on Barak Obama’s watch. He was responsible for implementing the “transition” we are suffering from now under Biden.

Obama completed the corruption of the DOJ in 2016. In the 2016 campaign Hillary Clinton and the DNC had the purchased the Russian Dossier for $50,000 from Christopher Steele and gave it to the FBI. The DNC paid a $108,000 fine and Hilary Clinton paid an $5000 fine.

The FBI knew the Russia Collusion claim was a hoax, but they applied for wire-taps anyway.  The FBI received approval from the FISA Court and illegally wiretapped the Trump campaign.  Hillary Clinton, acting as Secretary of State had been caught illegally using her private server and illegally deleting 33,000 emails but the DOJ and FBI refused to prosecute. 

In 2021, Biden’s Executive Orders reversed the Trump Policies that worked on the Border, with Energy and with foreign adversaries. Biden’s sloppy retreat from Afghanistan was the last straw. The continual persecution of Trump is confirmation that Democrats view Trump as an existential threat to their survival.

The price of all this Government largesse is our $34 trillion National Debt, US Inflation, a disappearing Middle-class,
