Isolationism and protectionism make not a big sense while everywhere in the world US-soldiers are "defending" (and destroying) the natural and civilisatoric ressources the USA (and everyone else) is basing on.
Donald Trump made for example billions with new taxes called "tarrifs" - but indeed pays the USA the price, specially the so called "masses" or "consumers". And your government will need money soon: new public debts. Sure are the superrich US-Americans happy. They earn a lot of more and much more money. But how helps this your country and the people, who live there?
Oh let's see now....Gee what a hard question.
Maybe it would be black Americans, who are experiencing their lowest unemployment rate EVER.
Maybe it would be Hispanic Americans, who are experiencing their lowest unemployment rate EVER
Maybe it would be disabled Americans, who are experiencing their lowest unemployment rate EVER.
Maybe it would be American workers, who are experiencing their highest median income rate EVER.
Maybe it would be American workers, who are experiencing their highest number in the workforce EVER.
So you can see the USA has a very serios problem. Economy good but no jobs. I would not be astonished when you will find a strong statistical relation between this and the number of private war weapons in the USA.
And no, US consumers do not pay the price for tariffs,
The citizens of the USA pay this price. Still only hundreds of dollars every year. Meanwhile your war against Huawei means Huawei will stop to buy goods for more than $30 billions every year in the USA. And it means you slow down your most important investments in the future which need a working 5G infrastructure. Autonomous driving cars for example needs a 5G net all over the USA.
as companies cannot raise prices for tariffs or any other reason.
And Mexico pays walls for Trumps private appartment USA and a candle light diner.
They can only set prices to what the market can bear.
Or they don't sell the goods which bring not any profit.
Any higher results in sales/income reductions. Your command of business economics is almost as bad as your use of English.
Indeed I don't have a big idea about economy. Economy is something what someone has to do because he lives, that's all - but economy is for me extremly seldom a reason for decisions.
As for US soldiers, yeah they might defend US resources. sounds like a good idea.
Ah - you seem to think a skull is a good symbol for the black flag of the USA and their black soldiers of the night.
And they ought to be defending US resources here in the USA, much more against the "soldiers" invaders (aka "migrants") of countries carrying out imperialism against the US ($148 Billion/year remittances$$$), of which the US is the #1 victim in the world.
What about for heavens sake do you speak here? You are angry about migrants who send money home to their families? That's the same in Germany. Additionally lots of Germans live outside of Germany and spend a lot of money all over the world. It's their right to do so: it's their money. In general: The better the economy in all countries works, the better the people are able to protect their nature and their resources and the more chances of others exist to make some money too.
Ah stop! You speak about normal business. When we Germans for example sell a machine in the USA then someone is using this machine to make money and to pay taxes. So what is the problem? Replace it with an US-american machine.
We have by the way a nursery rhyme with the etymologian "Dollar", called "Taler". Was a very famous currency once. It goes "
Taler, Taler - Du musst wandern von der einen Hand zur anderen" (=
"Dollar, dollar you have to wander from one's hand to the next"). It's some hundred years old, I guess. Money means nothing - the movement brings changes. So the best is to give money to the poor people - they need a lot of things - and the dollar will wander. Perhaps the system breaks down, when everyone buys alcohol and drugs and weapons and delusions.
But what are the neo-capitalists doing today? They give the money from the taxpayers (and tariff payers) directly to the superrich people and find more and more ways to let everyone else pay their costs. The answer to the challenge "China" are more investments and more cooperations within the world and not trade wars, which will anyway become real wars one day. And the USA is in the moment in a growing dangerous situation. It will need more than only some years to repair the damages Donald Trump had caused for the USA. Because of his destruction of the western world I would not be shy to arrest Donald Trump on reason of high treason. He draggs in mire the values of the western world and threatens constantly everyone who is not accepting his premise
"I (and only l) am the USA. I am the greatest president of the world the USA and any ant ever had seen". Don't tell me now that I am so stupid not to know that ants are blind. In wonder why not every US-American child cries:
"Look at imperator Trump - he wears a naked clothing".
Oh by the way - not to forget. With the so called digitalization and this what the people call "AI" (I call it "expert systems") lots of 'normal' jobs will go lost. I do not think the solution is to save looms from the use of steam drives
. We all need new jobs - real new jobs. Innovations - not stupidities.
