    Are you suggesting that trade from other countries be shut off to us and what would we do?  Well, we may be able to rest on our own laurels as far as getting by with what this country offers by way of supplies, but what about the money we lose when other countries are not buying a thing from us?

    Uh oh.

    If a customer is willing to spend half a trillion dollars (in 2016) in the "world store," why would the world seek to refuse to sell to the USA?

    I think this is more about refusing to buy from the USA.

    That would be catastrophic for a "Service Economy". There has to be some trade. This post was edited by JakobA the unAmerican. at September 8, 2017 7:14 AM MDT

    So despite the beliefs of many the US cannot go it alone and survive. I didn't think so. Thank you for your reply JakobA! :)

    The global economy would collapse.
    Maybe China will eventually be able to take up the slack, but they would have to change from a communist government.
