The Paris Accord is just one of many Trump decisions he's made that isolate the US from the rest of the world. The World will move on without the US. Germany and China will take the lead as global leaders in the US absence. We'll lose jobs as the rest of the World sells goods to each other and bypasses the US. Trump will continue to rail against globalism, but eventually people will realize that we cannot be isolationist.

@windinhishair: America 20 trillion in debt.

@GunSmoke9: Here's a secret for you: Most of the American debt was accumulated under Republican presidents. It is a fact you can easily check. And it is going to go way, way up as we withdraw from the World and reality, as fewer countries trade with us and we wage trade wars with others.

@windinhishair: Both parties are responsible for the debt. We need to cut spending.

Yes we do. Let's start with reducing welfare for the rich and business. And raising taxes on the small number of super wealthy who benefit off the rest of society. That should be a good start.
But cutting spending is unlikely to be enough to counter the negative effects of walling off the country from the rest of the world and ignoring reality.
