It’s not that difficult to understand. The USA is gigantic in economy, land, and raw materials...

We have every ability to be self sufficient. Making ourselves, in essence, our own customers would make our country rich. A USA/ China trade war would be VERY good for USA and VERY bad for China. It’s time we level the playing field. Fair is fair.

Funny, but at least 25 economic organizations and analyst believe differently.

Few voters even support them, if their opinion matters.

@Graylight lol those are just people who disagree with the policy... it doesn’t dispute the facts which is AMERICA is the prime financer of the world’s economy and its protection of peace.

You remain unqualified

@GardenSage Please, enlighten us with your eminent qualifications and detailed understanding of US and world economics. The hot air in here is getting rather stifling.
GardenSage · 36-40, M
@Graylight I have been... you’re in complete denial about it.

It’s quite clear that the USA is hemorrhaging money at the whim of the rest of the world... between our trade deficit with China and our imbalance of defense spending with nato, that’s 1,000,000,000,000 (Trillion) just from last year!! And that’s only 2 variables!!!

Don’t have to be an expert. The numbers are public and don’t lie

@GardenSage And yet you're in the minority. We'll see what happens. No matter which direction it runs, Trump's sure to screw it up one way or the other.
GardenSage · 36-40, M
@Graylight the minority?? Yeah because we support the whole world
Graylight · 51-55, F
@GardenSage The minority opinion, genius. And we [i]far[/i] from support the "whole world."
GardenSage · 36-40, M
@Graylight ok just like most of the modern world economy
Graylight · 51-55, F
@GardenSage God, but you like to hear yourself speak.
GardenSage · 36-40, M
@Graylight ummm do you provide anything but insults and emotion?

Off with you
