The enviro-movement has always been intended to shut down American commerce and power-up world communism, hence America going down, and China skyrocketing up? Democrats fought for decades for China to get most favored trade status, guess what? It worked, comrade ! Now tie that with America denied its own resources, esp oil and you have empowerment of some of Americas most dire threats, Islam and Russia, who export a great deal of oil. China, Islam, and Russia all greatly favored by democrats, often against America, even in times of war. Any confusion left? Exporting our best technology to them, while demanding we return to barbaric frontier days, still confused? No internal combustion engines for us, nor cheap energy either.
Still confused? They are desperately trying to force America into another great depression, like the German socialist engineered to the Germans pre-WWII.
