This hits the nail correctly. It's really funny to see people act like it was different heads running the economy back then, you've got the same big businesses and same big names now directly running the US government. The ones that outsourced everything and stripped away America's ability to be self-reliant are the same ones now stripping away America's ability to trade with even its closest allies.

People mistake their actions now as protectionism when it's about looting and pillaging what little is left so that they can keep their death grip on capital.
