Suppose you are on a Basketball team and decide to take a “Me First” attitude. Your goal is to score as many points as you can. When your teammates complain, you say.....you are welcome to score as many points as you can too.
Sounds like a way to score more points
But what happens is you end up shooting every time you get the ball whether you have a shot or not. Your point total may go up at first, but eventually your teammates will stop passing you the ball.
Overall, your scoring will drop
The country is not a basketball team
What do we need other countries for?
Nothing.
the fact is we have made other countries dependent on us and it's time to stop that
We exist in a global economic environment. Declaring economic war on the rest of the world is not a path to success
Which is why the government should not be involved in trade.
We really don't need the shit other countries make as we are more than capable of producing what we need.
And we also prop up the military of other countries to the tune of billions of dollars a year leaving them free to use their savings to move against us economically
We need to let these little countries take care of their own military needs and reinvest the money we waste on them if we did that we could be 100% self sufficient.
Don't think that other countries have our best interests at heart because they don't
