American Apocalypse

David Stockman, Ronald Reagan's Director of the Office of Management and Budget, equates GOP's economic policies with the "American Apocalypse"

He is equally critical of Democrats' large government and spending process.

Andy Grove has expressed a similar sentiment, as has Robert Reich.

Protecting our own interest is not any more protectionist than protecting our borders. Protecting American economy therefore Americans is a matter of national self interest and needs bipartisan committment to boost local manufacturing and job creation. If that means taxing imports and job exports then that needs to be done strongly like our response to the Soviet Union during the Cold War.
