No such thing as a perpetual motion economy

Bizarre Politics Reports:
In sports, there is always a starting line. In phjilosophy, with being studied as being, for everything started, there is a starter. But in the global economic arena, there is no starting line with economies supposed to work no matter where they are started. Obvivously, this approach is not working , with government having to bail out big money.

Everthing started, needs a starter but Free Traders ignore this principle.
In sports, in any game, there is a starting line but in Free Trade, there is none. And in every sport, there is a umpire, referee or judge to keep things in order and balance. But, in the global economic arena, there are very few and what is known as a "level playing field" does not exist
Our economies based on making money on money instead of making things are burning out and Pres. Obama, Pres. Bush and Pres. Clinton ignored all of the above.
What drives an economy ?
A farmer's main concerns are the seeds he uses. If they are hybrid seeds that last for only one season and the season does not support the crop, everthing is lost. And the farmer has no seeds for the next season. The best way is to save seeds from the best crops produced. Only local value added economies in balanced geopolitical settings supply all the right kind of seeds to recycle an economy over and over again.
An automobile needs a power source to start it. If the car has no battery, a car is useless. And if a car has a battery but no fuel to keep it running the car is useless. If the car has no generator, it will run for only a short time. Yet in our economies based on making money on money instead of making things, are based on adding values without any real power source and fuel to keep it going.
Imagine listening to a symphony by an orchestra that has no drums or even a rock band that has none. There would be no harmony or a sense of continuation. Yet the free traders leave out free enterprise that brings everything together.
Henry Ford realized that the workers who made a car need to be paid enough money to buy a car. In the global economic arena, we have underclass workers who can not afford to buy the very things they make.
Imagine that in the old west, the pioneers came to a place to build a town and there were people who wanted to be just the mayor, teacher, sheriff, doctor, nurse or bartender but no one wanted to farm or raise cattle. There would be no town.
The Free Enterprise system is a simple process. It is about an owner who grows or makes something at an added value to enjoy a reasonable living for themselves and enough to provide a living wage to all who their workers. Then one business links to another in the same way. For the whole community to enjoy common services and the benefits of the commerce generated, all owners and workers must enjoy suffiient revenues for the community to survive. Iinstead the Free -Traders ship out the productiion to far away places for the sake of cheaper and cheaper labor. As a result, living wages that are needed to support the community are degraded and a new living poor class is created. Soon the living poor class can not make enough money to even buy the cheaper imports while the workers who make the products can not afford to buy the things they produced let alone have any money left to buy anything the more prosperous nations have left to sell.
In the end the economies based on making money on money instead of making things burn out. And no amount of government bail outs will bring back the original balances because the bail outs are based on growing values that have been sent out to far away places.
This is the state of our local and gobal economies now and there is no way back except to find the economic models in the past that worked and put them back into action again.

Upside down economy is falling apart. The value of labor and workers is a real asset and acts as a money standard but now this value has been radically deflated and affects all money values. The Trade Deficit is a major example.
