For decades, the Japanese have been dumping cheap goods on the American public. The Japanese have continued to turn the American money paid for these goods, into buying American property and businesses. The Japanese Yen has grown in value both world wide and against the US dollar. All this has been done in an atmosphere of protection of Japanese property from foreign ownership and the influx of foreign goods in the Japanese market.
Now the administration wants the US taxpayers to bail the Japanese out of their current financial crisis?
Wait a second! Haven't the Japanese brought this on themselves? Hasn't this situation been exasterbated by their purchase of our property, in deference to putting cash back into their own system?
They should devalue their currency or open their own property to foreign ownership, before begging us for monetary assistance!
Why should the American public, pay them for buying our businesses and property?
There is no reason for us to send them more of our money, just so they can buy more of the United States from us. They should sell us back, the property they have acquired in the US to save their own financial system. We must not allow a few Americans to benefit from what could cause more monetary woes to the US economy!
The Japanese have almost succeeded to do economically, what they tried to do militarily on December 7, 1941! This time, we must not ignore the critical economic situation between our two countries, the way we ignored the military situation 50 years ago!
I will consider any American politician who votes for our monetary assistance to Japan, as a traitor to our country!
