.... every job where either an American is fired and replaced with a cheaper H-1b, OPT, CPT or whatever or said job is sent to China, Vietnam or India is one more American for which you must increase general fund spending otherwise they starve. At some point those people will choose civil war over abject poverty, privation and death which is exactly what doing this sort of **** leads to and when they do choose that outcome we will all deserve the violence that results for letting it happen on our watch or even cheering it on because it made our 401ks go up.
THIS MUST STOP AND BE REVERSED RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW.
We have gone far too long continuing the exponential expansion of this crap. Our annual deficit has roughly doubled in the last decade from when I wrote Leverage and we are well past any claim that "Covid did it." This is now entirely the consequence of displacement of both manufacturing and American labor generally as it has been since and even before NAFTA and it must all stop and be reversed right here, right now, with each and every person who has been "temporarily" admitted to the United States for this purpose expelled and all jobs offshored tariffed at 100% of the differential benefit in doing so to either (1) refill the Treasury or (2) force the jobs back here thus causing Americans to earn the wages and pay taxes on them.
If we do not do it, and do it starting right now, no-bull**** CIVIL WAR is extremely likely and once it begins it will be too late to make the decision or try to change said outcome; we must act on this today because it will take time for the economy to adjust and there has to be sufficient time and room for that to occur or the CIVIL WAR and MASS DEATH THEREFROM comes anyway.
