While America Implodes, China Explodes into the World-Wide Leader of Trade, and Governance.

What is the definition of Implosion: Implosion is when the object collapses upon itself, generally being crushed by an outside force. Which I label America’s financial and economic bubble, that has been inflated beyond saving, under the current two-party political system, as imploding our future, and leaving us chasing China for number one in the world for trade and cultural values.

What is the definition of explosion: At the same time, I label China as the aggressor, exerting explosion forces that radiate away from an inside source greater than outside force resistance. Which then results in China being the pre-eminent leader of the world.

Mr. Joe Dalio in his book The Changing World Order (subtitled When Nations Succeed and Fail) labels them as the big curves of empires (also called the cycles of nations), that have evolved over the last 2,000 years. He uses 18 determinants as algorithms to predict the evolution of the four biggest socio-economic curves in history … the Dutch, The British UK, America USA, and now China CCP that last approximately 300 years.

America is in its 247 years in a negative yield curve based on its GDP decline, excessive debt, continuing annual deficits, a gridlocked Congress, a failing two party system with weak leadership.

The most current biggest curves being the USA constitutional of Democracy doctrines, and CCP Marxist, and Communism doctrines, vying for preeminence in trade, currency, land ownership, military power, economic return on investment, religious standards, and cultural mores.

As America implodes having shifted wealth since World War Two, to its adversaries is at risk of losing the big curve battle … that according to Dalio will happen in the next decade as USA slides down the trade, economic and currency big curve determinants, while CCP is advancing its dominance in these critical outcome analytics. It is predicted in the book “may evolution be with you” that I interpret to mean put your hedge fund money on China.

It is my goal to Save America … We are already great but to Keep America Great we need new management to run the biggest enterprise in the world. We can no longer isolate ourselves from the realities of incompetent fiscal mismanagement, and no accountability for trade blunders, high fixed overhead with a $1.9 trillion annual government payroll, including the best benefit package ever.

While our Chinese competitor has low to no government overhead with no gridlock or resistance from its workers who are glad to be well fed and alive. The bottom line is who will control the value of the worldwide reference currency, military power, and balance of trade.

Both of which America is predicted by Dalio to lose. Since the great reset by Mao the Chinese leaders have established the politburo structure with the China Capitalism and China Dream of displacing America’s democracy with totalitarian government using wealth and military as its measurement. Under way, is a counter movement in China consisting of approximately 400 million of Fulon Gong religious members opting out of the communist party. Also, the society is experiencing corruption from its oligarch corporations that weakens their control by one autocrat leader.

My proposal for solving the $800 billion to $1 trillion annual negative trade imbalance, is turning the tables on them, we cannot afford to be consumer table for the world. We need our leaders to be schooled in why small business enterprise beats big business and big government (Big Brother, and the Brotherhood) every time for new technology, profitability, profit sharing, work ethic, patriotic effort, and leaders in their communities.

We have to turn the tables on the competition (those 30 countries that export more to us than we export to them) by reworking the cost of the 10,000 unit, and 18,000-unit container ship capacity 270 million dwt, costing $3,000 to $30,000 per container, on the 5,600 ships owned by China COSCO shipping containers across two oceans to our 20 ports that get products to our end consumers. Shifting costs as landed not loaded on wholesale and retail shelves.

Therefore, also the suppliers should absorb the cost of shipping, unloading, and distribution of the products using their money to get the products to the wholesaler, and retailer shelves. Then a marketing charge for displaying their products on our consumer market shelves. As coke a cola has to do with its products. America the consumer of the world must take back its business model, forcing business to be localized not politicized.

Obviously, it would be a cheaper if the consumer was close to the shipper not across two oceans. Why did non businessmen sign trade agreements. Because politicians aren’t qualified to conduct business with a law degree, PhD, nor are bureaucrats. What can we do at this stage to realign the tables so our technology and ideas for health care, relationships, crime, religion, ghettos in our cities, outer space, and inner space protection of our grids, with secure borders and consensus voting.

Endorse and vote for the very principles and policies being proposed in my The American Enterprise Party Trilogy. Volume One why we have to do it? Volume Two how to do it? Volume Three who will do it?

I quote from Charlie Reece’s article regarding the Gang of 535 (100 Senators, 435 House members, 9 Supreme Court justices and one President), if politicians cause problems with too many laws and regulations, too many taxes, too much debt, and spending, bad business decisions and bankruptcy looming … why would we expect the two-party system to fix it … when all the two parties do is blame the other party for its incompetence. Sounds like the McCoy’s and the Hatfield’s fighting over money, and moonshine.

The American Enterprise Party would represent the tie breaker on all legislation, at all levels of governance.by exercising, using generally accepted accounting principles, a business plan for the annual trade, and spending budget for security of borders and voting systems, as the minimum guideline.

This is to replace the contract with America as promised by the Republicans, and a socialist Democratic giveaway program promised by the Democrats.
