Toddsterpatriot, the short answer is No, you cannot count on my support.If you can't sell the bananas at a profit, that's not a sustainable enterprise and USA consumers will get no bananas,
Why should that matter? I'm only interested in increasing US GDP.
your plan increases our GDP more than otherwise but only to the extent of our reduced banana importation and our production and sales of USA grown bananas.
Can I count on your support?
There's economic justification for our government to eliminate or significantly reduce our chronic annual trade deficits.
There's no justification for our government targeting only bananas when we know that the proposal will not significantly reduce our annual trade deficits of goods. Bananas alone are not a significant portion of USA's annual imports and there no good reason for our nation to discriminate among import products or imports' national origins.
The proposal's not a sincere attempt to achieve a remedy; it's deliberately mischievous.
If USA banana producers cannot satisfy USA's effective demand, USA consumers will have no bananas.
If USA banana producers can satisfy USA's effective demand, USA consumers will have bananas at an increased price.
In all cases, it will not significantly improve our economy but it will to some extent upset our foreign relations. The USA will be reputed to be a nation that acts more foolishly and for no clear advantage even for ourselves.
Respectfully, Supposn
