Ching ching goes the balance of payments

If the Citizens United case means that the US politicians can be bought by
businesses, they can be bought by foreign businesses, say from Saudi.

As you know, the US has a trade balance problem. It prints money so that it
can suck the world dry of its consumer goods. Unfortunately, they've got few exports
left that anybody wants. But, every government has to balance their trade.

Well, if foreign businesses want to run the US, for their own benefit,
they have to get involved in politics
and send some of that money back in the way of
kickbacks,...ooops, ...BRIBES, oooops, campaign contributions.
They send the money back and
it gets added as an export
of a product, democracy,
and re-patriate some money.
BALANCE OF PAYMENTS GOES CHING-CHING
Nowadays, that counts as progress.
