Buying imported goods does not create prosperity and wealth here. It’s a net drain of wealth.

These editorial types do not, to paraphrase you, "import goods" as an actual business, nor create prosperity and wealth except for themselves. So many talking heads, but none run manufacturing businesses nor operate wholesale or retail business in the private sector to employ many Amercians in any number.

These types manufacture words and clicks and sell ads and operate several similar "opinion" websites.
