Do you remember the show Scooby Doo? I loved it! Remember how at the end of the show they'd pull off the hood of the person they caught, and we'd see who the culprit really was? With this in mind, picture this...picture someone standing there with a hood on his head and the hood had the words: "Build Back Better on It." Now imagine the hood being pulled off and Xi Jinping is standing there with a smile on his face.
The current Democratic Party is the most corrupt of any in my lifetime. The reason I say this is that the green initiatives that some members of their party want, immediately helps the Chinese economy, not ours. This isn't speculation, it's a fact.
Democrats say that solar panels are made here when in fact, we get them mostly from China and then assemble them here. Most of the solar windmills are made of roughly 72% steel, 14% resin and plastic, and the rest a mixture of various metals. Guess where resin/plastic comes from? Oil. Not something the democrats want to promote.
We get metals from other countries including China and Russia. China even enjoys pitching in on our electric cars. We get lithium from China which is what we need for the electric car batteries. Once again, democrats mislead people by saying we manufacture these green products in the U.S. and fail to mention that we can't manufacture if China cuts us off because we are dependent on other countries for lithium because we don't have enough here in the U.S. In other words, we'd be a slave to China, and so would the rest of the world who pursued an AOC economic plan, because they provide around 84% of the unique metals in the world.
We have a lot of great resources in the U.S. but not the metals we'd need for the current green initiatives because we only have about 4% of the world's supply. A great lesson I learned from my father while growing up on our family farm, is that in order to experience peace in one's life, do not be a slave to anyone or anything. He refused to take on any debt. Everything my parents paid for was in cash. He said that it provides a person with freedom to make choices that fits one's ideology and not have to succumb to the interests of others who don't have your wellbeing in mind.
It's simple, republicans do everything possible to make our country independent of resources from other nations. President Trump was a master at this. Republicans want us to have the best possible advantage to controlling our own destiny. It's the exact opposite when it comes to democrats. They have more of a world-order mentality which definitely started with the Obama Administration. Republicans just don't think the rest of the world cares that much about us to focus on improving our lives. Which ideology do you believe in?
