I am no expert in U.S. and international finance, so I am I nuts by thinking: screw the rest of the world. The U.S. has sufficient natural resources, workforce, and consumption to maintain its own economy. Why do we need to rely on the rest of the world so much? Plus, I am sure we can work with Canada and/or Mexico to some degree if needed.
Just a thought if things “go south”...it may actually be a good thing if we can use it to peel ourselves away from the global powers that be.
Agreed. I’ve made that similar post many times here. :)
Sure we can. The rich folks just won’t get to make as much money as they are now. So it probably won’t happen.
parsy, the glum
Because of America's high taxes, America's minimum wage laws and America's ludicrous environmental regulations.
Also its crushing import/export bureaucratic burden, its crushingly complex tax system and its byzantine legal system.
Also: America owns the world strategic reserve of a) lawyers and b) people who are owed a living by Whitey.
What did I miss?
