International Trade and Finance Speech
Financial Pitfalls 2
Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, good afternoon to you all. I would like to thank you for the opportunity to speak to you this today on such an important topic – our economy.
Our economy is in crises mode. To say that our economy has slowed down would be an understatement. The economy, to date, has taken a step backwards and the direction we are heading will take us from a record long-lasting recession to an all-out financial depression.
Americans consume far more goods than we produce on a monthly basis. What that means, simply put, is that we continue to build more debt and get poorer with every passing month. Think of it like this – the average person goes through a certain amount of managed stress each day. When outside stress, or variables are added to daily stress it places more pressure on the body and mind. If this outside stress isn’t dealt with or managed, and as more is added, the body will either explode or shut down. Our economy is like the average person’s body.
Most of us do not understand the current economic state of affairs. Not that we wouldn’t be able to comprehend the status, but most are unaware, as the media and national political heads are sheltering Americans from the truth and not diving in to the true issues at hand.
We currently have a surplus of imports in our great nation. This should be of no surprise to us – countries that we currently hold the largest amount of deficit through imports are:
• China
• Mexico
• Japan
Financial Pitfalls 3
With the Chinese enjoying a spike in export capital over nearly past ten years, they have become a giant on the global economic scene. On a closer level, one that strikes the heart of every American man and woman, the impact of this surplus is being felt in our automotive industry – the true backbone of this great country.
China has grown into an auto-parts
