    Well that’s because the money is going to China instead of back to Americans.

      I mean, that sounds pretty reasonable. But can you list any countries with isolationist economic policy that are more prosperous than America? I can’t. How do you account for the loss of inflow of foreign money into America after America stops spending money elsewhere? You can’t.

        Well that inflow is from what we’re selling, right? Not buying.

        Also, Denmark? They seem alright. Correct me if I’m wrong about their policy.

          Denmark just happens to have strong social programs, significantly better than the US has ever had. Free education, healthcare, employment benefits, and wealth distribution through taxes. Not comparable at all.

            Well yeah, we’re contrasting here not comparing right? Denmark is doing it better IMO. But also Denmark is pretty super against immigration and stuff.
