Mq, Re: The USA didn't become strong because of tariffs. No, just the U.S. manufacturing base. Overall, the U.S. prospered because of the ruthless exploitation of one of the greatest natural resource bases in the world. Though largely spent, if one looks at petroleum and natural gas reserves, depletion of soils, loss of local fisheries, 98% deforestation on timberlands, etc. there is still some hope for the national economy. Though for the worker bees in the U.S., 1973 was as good as it will ever get. It's all downhill now for the workers.

<<Having people like Albert Einstein and hordes of other brainy inventors helped too. The USA has been an intellectual beacon for nearly a century. >> That's the key phrases. I had hoped this Administration would make drastic changes to the American education system to elevate the brain production out of the American education system, but such is not the case. And it is one critical element totally left out of the American Century agenda.
