Why?

recessions and depressions reduce trade etc, so the reduction will decrease demand, so prices will come down

But nobody will drive anywhere except to work.

"...for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us."

Nope. Russia hasn’t been raping us like Canada has.

But, they’re kinda a loser country. He mentioned that Vietnam and Cambodia were included in countries that were rich and more powerful than the US, because of their raping. But, he clarified that friends who abuse us are worse, so Canada is the villain.

I suppose that means no more real maple syrup in our lifetimes. It was good while it lasted.

It may be uncomfortable for the rest of the world for a bit, but the collective economic out put of the world is more than three times the size of the USGDP. They will adjust and the US will achieve its Trumpian utopia of isolation.

Amazing that DCUM elites have no understanding of economics 101

But here is their messiah Ms Rampell talking about expanding immigration

On one hand she wants to increase the overwhelming immigration of low wage workers - to reduce inflation by lowering wages of low wage workers. Increasing the supply of workers reduces wages.

on the other hand, she laments about the low salaries paid to day care workers.

Someone needs to teach the Princeton educated Anthropologist about Supply and Demand concepts. but I think she already knows. She would rather have cheap toys and pay indentured servants cheap pay with no benefits, than have a strong middle class.

It is becoming so clear that DCUM elites hate US workers. Ah the humanity. My iPhone will be more expensive

Assuming that's over 10 years, that's $600 billion per year.

There are 134 million households, so this is nearly $5,000 per household per year.

And it's like a sales tax, so it's a flat tax. A huge hit to the budgets of working folks.
