I have to disagree. The $17(actually $18) Trillion debt is related to us spending more than we take in. Tax receipts are at a record level. We have to build on those industries we excel at such as technology, energy and healthcare.

The Donald has to know this. One of the few things he has said that I agree with is when he said he is not a stupid man. He has proven that; he sure knows how to pander.

Well whatever, as a free trading nation we are broke, we have high unemployment and we are deep in dept. Only the federal reserve printing presses are keeping us afloat. As a non free trading nation (pre 1965) we had the highest living standard in the world and were the wealthiest nation in the world by far. So I’d say history agrees with me. And Oh by the way the same thing happening to us happened to Great Briton once Great Briton adopted free trade as an economic model mid 19th century. Dido Spain in the 17th century.
