I think the US Dollar is in the graveyard in the sky above the 80 area where it historically belongs. Somehow, someway, the foreign countries keep it up there to make their exports mathematically cheaper so us idiot Americans keep on unwittingly keep buying their crap and keep them working. The USD is a traitor dollar. Not net good for the US public.
Each and every country would be better off if each one produced its own needs. And only import what they can’t possibly produce themselves. Think about how well off the USA people would be if we just produced our own consumer electronics? Screw the big corporations getting a piece of all the countries pies.
To me, in the USA, Imports are like slow motion Rat Poison. The cheap imports taste good at first, but later on we have cost of living problems and falling tax receipts causing $34 trillion national debt.
