    Iow, offshoring. Tariffs have to be raised against cheap, third-world producers, and regulations and taxes slashed, here at home.

  2. Blacks are a pretty big drain on the economy. Blacks bring in about 156 billion in taxpayer revenue per year. Coincidentally, its almost the exact same number we spend on welfare just for blacks. So basically they pay their own welfare. Unfortunately, white people are picking up the tab for the healthcare, & education of 40 million blacks now. It would cost about $50 billion to send all blacks back to africa and the US would recoup our cost in taxes saved in less than 6 months for that expense. Then we would enjoy savings of 100s of billions per year, less crime, less murders, less old people getting punched by the knockout game. That $50 billion would be the best money we ever spent.

    you'd close the loop on the number one black murderer; another black

  4. They would still murder each other, they would just do it in Africa.

    The fact is that blacks will kill more people this year than terrorists have killed soldiers in the last 10 years in iraq/afghanistan. About double actually.

  5. Actually, the lions fix that problem real quickly...

    You would be amazed at the improvement in behavior when left out in the bush and forced into being a responsible part of their community/tribe/gang/prison chain member/bad ass/clan.

  6. Peilthetraveler : I feel your pain.
    You have identified the cause of all the financial, social and economic problems in the US.
    You have even been able to see a solution to clean up all these financial, social and economic problems. Now how are you going to convince people to implement all of this? I mean your own president apparently had a black father, right?

    Even if .1% of these 40 million Blacks i.e. mere 40,000 decide to dig and throw a fight..............then you know what will happen? It will make Al Queda look like mere junior high hooligans.

    Might end up costing $50 Trillion......given that American blacks are really vicious fighters.

    ps: you are an IDIOT !!

  8. Looks like the costs varies between $50 billion to $50 Trillion.
    Peilthetraveler might have worked out how he came to the costing.
    Hopefully he'll explain how he arrives at this relatively cheap cost to solve all the US problems. :)

  9. I'm black but I've got to agree with this. Of course I fall into the category of working, productive citizen but the vast majority of blacks simply are a drain on society. And if you mention to them that their lack of productivity is a problem, they'll say that America owes it to them to allow them to be lazy due to the period of slavery. Then when you point to the ridiculously high level of crime, they'll try to rationalize it by saying either 1 or 2 things. 1) "The white man" conditioned blacks to hate each other, so that's why they kill each other and others. 2) "The white man" placed them in impoverished conditions because "he" knew that they'd grow tired of being poor and resort to violence to get by.

    People who think like that, I agree....ship their ass back to Africa since they believe that some invisible white man is the source of all their problems.

    The current US policies on welfare are outright spoiling and leaving little incentive to get off and go to work. It should be maximum 3 months of welfare, in return government provides baby sitting costs/facilities for the parent(s) to go to work.

    Up until recently, the approach to crimes like selling drugs was impractical. Now in some cities, they are targeting not the "less than minimum wage earning" street dealers but the wholesalers. Nab one wholesaler and put 10 dealers out of the streets. 10 dealers out means 100 or more addicts thrown out of the loop....cold turkey.

    Stricter gun laws might also help.

    Regarding the blame game..........that's cowardly. The word Honor need not be mentioned for those who blame others for everything.
