So how do we go about reducing our dependency on the US economy?
Anything your country does to reduce its dependence on our country's economy will probably also hurt your country's economy. With my apologies if we screw our economy up again.

Inpossible in a globalised financial market. And that hasn't even changed since 1929.

You didn't read my responses then.
I'm glad Grump is running . He's exactly the nominee Republicans deserve. He and his ilk don't frighten me.
And now he's gifting the White House to another democrat. Thanks, Donald Trump!

Honestly, you sound like the irrational one here. I mean you're the one saying that you have the *Correct Interpretation* of Trump. You know what he really means, and what he doesn't. This sounds exactly like what Christians say with regards to the bible. "You're taking it out of context!" is about the same as "He's just saying it to appeal to rednecks!"
Where to hit him on policy? Well, for starters he's not explained much about his policy at all. The only policy he has at this moment is that he's going to build a wall, and somehow make the Mexicans pay for it. A wall that's not going to actually accomplish anything--because most illegal immigrants come over here and let their visas expire. Those that don't, aren't going to let a wall impede them. They'll go under or over.
Then you have the fact that he outright said women should be punished for having abortions. Ted Cruz of all people shunned him for this. That's kind of like Ken Ham shunning Kent Hovind.
You seem to somehow know that Trump is 'really a liberal' and 'closer to Bernie' despite him saying things to the contrary. Apparently you know how to read this man that's saying anything to get himself elected. A man who has time and time again abused the laws (admittedly!) to make profits for himself. But somehow you're able to tell what he really means, and what he doesn't. Sounds a lot like cherry picking to me, which isn't rational at all. Just my two cents here.
The whole tone of Church teaching in regard to woman is, to the last degree, contemptuous and degrading. - Elizabeth Cady Stanton

A man who was recently almost banned from England for hate speech. Nice.
