I dunno, Monsanto are doing a pretty good job of ruining demand for US grain.

Yet it seems you are going down - economically, it's a slow boil... now where's the fight??
We aren't going down without a fight.
Our economy is doing fine for now. Our dollar is still the reserve currency. No sense in starting WW3 until we really have to.
...and??
Wars have been fought for much less than losing the reserve currency status.
That sentence is self explanatory. Not my fault if you can't comprehend it.
Your words, not mine.
The rest of the world needs to know that Americans are crazy...
... or what??
... and really shouldn't F with us
China seeks to unseat the USD as Reserve Currency, and this will destroy the American economy. Really destroy it. This is what China, the BRICS and gang have been working toward for years.

Who exactly is planning to destroy America??
HenryNorris, you should google and checked how many American Companies set up manufacturing plants and shift all their business to China and India and not in America.
If all those American companies manufactures on America soil, there would be trade surplus every month and not trade deficit! US dollar would not be in this pathetic state.
Next you should check who are the owners of those American Companies?
They are the main culprits!

This is what happens when our leaders sell us out to Wall St. and corporations. The loss of intellectual property and syphoned production, leading to an imbalanced trade scenario.
The floodgates have been opened. Internationalism as a concept has backfired on N. America.
I wholly believe N. America can sustain itself once again. It will hurt, and we may have to do without cheap Asian products but it will free us from consumerist moral degradation.
We don't need cheap plastic crap, and electronics/appliances with a shelf life of a carton of eggs anyways.
