The only ways to reduce foreign trade naturally, that I would go along with, are:
1. widespread and efficient use of 3d printing
2. expanded robotics
I could could care less about slowing the American economy just to give the average American man with average intelligence a crap manufacturing job so that he can feed his family.
I understand your point.
But, China and many others outright steal intellectual property from the United States with impunity.
That should be fought, and it can be.
Well OK then. Your a great American.
