And WHO will buy all of China's cheap crap, if not the West? Chinese don't but it because the workers are too impoverished. If China drives the West into economic oblivion as you imply, their goes China's trade surplus.
Let's not forget the number one oil exporting nation on Earth is not Saudi Arabia, Iran, or Russia, it is the United States. The Petrodollar isn't going away any time soon.

What everyone forgets is that the United States is large enough and fertile enough in resource to close borders and exist quite happily - which was US policy for a very long time..
We did it once, and I think it would be a benefit to Americans to do it again.. any step toward that end is a yes vote in my book...
So why are you invading other countries to do Fracking and Genetic Mutated Crop farming and metals mining?

The United States produces 25 percent of the world’s food supply even yet today.. we have plenty of water and agricultural land.. there are only a little over 300 million Americans.. we can feed ourselves aplenty.
