To be honest most of their policies are just pandering to the masses, they are unworkable and just go from right to left seemingly at random, whilst sneaking in their own "all foreigners out" policy here and there along the way. It screams "ill thought out" to me. ... Pretty much all of their policies follow this suit. Set unrealistically high goals, attempt to pander to the masses, blame immigrants, ignore conflicting policies. They are ill thought out and empty. |
Yep, this. They aren't even consistent. They are just a racist party trying to look politically mainstream so they can get some votes.

No, it did so because we owned most of the world's production and administered most of the world's economically active people.
Now all we have, as a productive industry that exports things people want, is financial services. The rest of our economy is unproductive consumerism. If our country was actually valued on what we produce (including services) vs. what we consume we would be nothing.
Whereas America has a lot of manufacturing and does actual R&D.
