    Who’s going to pay for all the expensive American stuff? Nobody, because they already barely afford the cheap Chinese stuff.

        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.
