...of $ out of USA? from all international transactions? In other words, why would they pursue policies for several decades now that they know when its all said and done that when you consider all the transactions that have money coming into the country and money leaving the country, its a net drain out of the country? Why would this be obvious and yet they pursue these policies so gleefully that you would think they purposely want to impoverish the citizens and purposely bankrupt the country and purposely make it more dependent on other countries and consequently diminish our national security as well....why would they do that???
