National economies are becomng more and more entwined, Bowser.
It's no longer like the 1920's, Bowser, when America
supplied sufficient raw materials and commodities for nearly all its needs...and more.
And of course, American factories in the 1920's, right into the
1970's supplied American with virtually all it needed.
That's sadly no longer the case.
Things may change [even dramatically] if that Texas billionaire, T Boone Picken's sweeping vision of a transformed American economy
based on a revolutionary transformation of America's energy-supply
and output wins over a majority in your Congress...and your President
as well.
