  1.  @warfarenotwarfair5655 . What tax payer ? The amounted of collected Federal levies barely covers interest payments.

  2. Well it takes an Irishman to shake all of Peter’s nonsense generalizations. And despite the lumpy paragraph , he broke into numbered topics. It must be his editor. Spacing would be nice. Brexit. I think most European countrymen have some gripe with how business is conducted through Brussels and the British leaders were quick to capitalize on that. Can’t fault the British for voting Brexit. Things such as exporting quotas were a straight jacket , specially for dairy farmers.

  3. The problem with US alliances is that you are always forced to toe their line. And , sometimes , such submission can be costly , see Japan and their 90’s financial crisis , Toshiba’s demise. Hence why Brazil foreign trade policy does not ally with US foreign policy and its collection of embargoes. They trade with Iran, Russia, China. It can be damaging to its manufacturing , hence why more Brazilian companies are incorporating in US soil. As for the UK, I would look into Mexico did with bilateral agreements. With NAFTA in their back pockets , Mexico stitched a bunch of bilateral trade agreements that enabled themselves to become a manufacturing hub for Asia and Americas. Their politicians and one party system might’ve been corrupt , but they are not stupid. Even in the UK side of the pond, there is Netherlands , a trading powerhouse. All I am saying, it is not doom and gloom as Peter proclaims. It just needs to be worked at . It takes resolves, smart leaders and going out to the world as the old empire used to in centuries past.
