Buy the way
Why is a Dubai company the major (and apparently the only) bidder for U.S. container ports?
Has anyone traveled overseas lately and bought a latte? The U.S. dollar has dropped in comparison to traditionally weak currencies like the Canadian dollar and the Euro and really sucks next to stronger ones like the yen. This is because of our weakened economy and growing trade deficit.
The biggest threat to American security isn't the transfer of a company that handles port cargo, it's our economy.
Our money has often bought our way out of international problems. Not this time.
I have gotten in touch with my conservative side over the last 6 years of King George's rule--Fix the economy, stupid! We won't have foreign companies buying anything if the deficit is reduced and the dollar gets some much-needed fiscal Viagra.
