Thoughts on a Second Stimulus
This lends credence to Mark Steyn's book, America Alone: The End of the World As We Know It. Rampant socialism disguised as environmentalism and opposition to globalization has taken over the world and fueled anti-Americanism. I realized several years ago that the US was alone then, and will continue to grow isolated as the rest of the world, led by Europe, Russia and China, and empowered by envy, joins forces against us. They will leave us two choices: 1) Join them in socialism (the Kyoto treaty and restrictions on trade) and destroy our economy or 2) They will attempt to destroy us by isolating us via protectionsism.
For an historical precedence, check out the history of the Dutch Republic in Israel's books. When England, France, Spain and other European countries realized they couldn't compete with the Dutch, they tried to destroy the Dutch in several wars. When that failed, they raised protective trade barriers and shut out all Dutch products.
