US Manufacturing

In the 1940s, our manufacturing efforts were directed toward the military to fight World War II from 1941 to 1945.  A suburban housing boom ensued as troops came home to start families. Jobs were plentiful. We developed TV sets and produced our own oil and natural gas.

In the 1950s, the US manufactured all of the products used by Americans. We manufactured clothing, shoes, appliances, electronics, cars, trucks, tractors, construction equipment etc.  We produced our food and drink.  We also printed money and caused an inflation rate of about 4%. Foreign companies produced their own goods, but American products were more popular.

In the 1960s, our inflation rate moved from 4% to 7% and we off-shored the manufacture of clothing and shoes. We began to import foreign cars. Computers were being adopted for business use. We entered the Viet Nam war in 1965 and expanded welfare.

In the 1970s, our inflation rate moved from 7% to 10% and we off-shored appliances to reduce prices. The quality of American cars declined and the price doubled in 1978. Foreign car market share increased.  We developed the transistor and dominated electronics. We exited the Viet Nam war in 1974 and went off the Gold Standard.

In the 1980s, our inflation rate moved from 13% back to 4%. We developed the Personal Computer adopted for business and home use.  US productivity soared. Japanese manufacturers began to dominate with cars, construction equipment and electronics manufacturing equipment. Other countries also increased import cars and machining equipment. We invested in military capability and the USSR dissolved, ending the “Cold War”.

In the 1990s, our inflation rate held at 4%. The US approved NAFTA, allowing US car manufacturing to off-shore its operations.  Other industries followed and off-shored their operations, but our unemployment rate held at 5%. We removed Iraq from Kuwait and restored the US military.  In 1992, George HW Bush signed on to UN Agenda 21 and the global warming hoax.  In 1993 Bill Clinton ordered its implementation.  Legal Immigration doubled in 1989 from 500,000 to 1,000,000 per year. Illegal immigration reached 20 million. 

In the 2000s, our inflation rate held between 4% and 6%. US manufacturing was declining and most of our goods were imported from China and other countries. On 9/11/2001 terrorists attacked the Twin Towers and the Pentagon. The “war on terror” began in 2001 with wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.  The inflation and unemployment rate calculations were changed to appear lower than they were.   In 2008, failed mortgages caused the Meltdown. Congress voted to bail out the banks.  Democrats won the 2008 election, passed Obamacare and began spending an extra $ Trillion a year on UN Agenda 21 implementation and the establishment of a NAZI government with crony company support.

In the 2010s, our real inflation rate rose to 10%, but was reported as under 3%.  Our real unemployment rose to 25%, but was reported as 8%. Decades of excessive immigration have resulted in the unemployment of 92 million working age Americans. Republicans took the House in 2010 and the Senate in 2014. Obamacare is failing and it is clear that Obama’s policies have resulted in a 2^nd Great Depression from 2008 to the present, with no sign of improvement.  EPA carbon and ozone regulations threaten our electrical power grid and will prevent manufacturing from returning to the US. UN Agenda 21 implementation became evident with the “Arab Spring” and war destabilizing the Middle East and the purge of Constitutionalist military officers in the US. Government debt is also threatening national sovereignty in Europe and the US.

Our only hope to stop the federal government from crashing our economy is if states nullify unconstitutional federal laws and regulations.

By 2020, our national debt will have risen from $5 Trillion in 2000 to $20 Trillion. If we can end UN Agenda 21 implementation in 2016, we will have a chance to recover our economy and return manufacturing to the US.
