RNC: Ric Grenell Torches 'Unlimited Globalization' that 'Hollowed Out' U.S.
Tl;dr multinational companies gutted the American workforce like a fish with the cooperation of the US government and threw them under the bus, laughing all the way to the bank.
Remember back in the day when CEO’s and top management were bringing down obscene multi million dollar bonuses every quarter. They were doing it by cutting labor costs by getting out of the manufacturing business and closing factories in the USA?
We need to add some language to corporate licensing to remind them what country they are in.
“No candidate [in the Republican presidential primary in 2015] could bring themselves to admit that something had gone badly wrong with American foreign policy. That the American voter, the American soldier, and the American taxpayer had all been let down,” Grenell said. “Except for one – Donald Trump.” Grenell went on to say:
After the end of the Cold War, Democrats and Republicans in Washington bought into the illusion that the whole world would start to resemble America. And so they started to pursue unlimited globalization. They welcomed China into the World Trade Organization … but they didn’t ground any of it in the interests of the average American.
Grenell added:
So for decades, while Washington politicians built a global system, American wages stagnated. Our great cities and industries were hollowed out. Entire communities were devasted, and our manufacturing plants were shipped off to China. That’s what happened when Washington stopped being the capital of the United States, and started being the capital of the world.
