Saving Democracy With Economic Nationalism

Democracy lets its leaders know what it thinks, and this is good, even if it is somewhat manipulated by the media, however, democracy also tends to prefer easy solutions and spendthrift overindulgence. But are the global power masters of our world being only “realistic” when they call for strict austerity in government programs to pay for the overdo bills of the people?

The people seem to know that something is not fair, and they are right. The people are being asked to accept deep cuts in their social programs while globalism continues to run unchecked over the world sucking up all the money and profits and making the wealthy even wealthier. The Republican (neoconservative) politicians now demanding austerity are the very same people who want to continue the very same globalism that destroyed the nation's economy.

So what is the realistic solution? The solution is not to destroy the free enterprise system, which has given us the highest standard of living in history, but to bring the free enterprise system back in accord with economic nationalism, which made our nation great in the first place. Economic nationalism protects the jobs and life-style of the nation with such things as putting up tariffs against globalist intrusions into the nation's manufacturing and business life. This is not unfair government interference, this is rationally protecting the life of the nation.

Without the calming solution of economic nationalism the mob tendencies and anger of the democracies could bring communism or fascism, which have been known to grossly manipulate or even take away freedom and democracy.
