No, I don’t mind the least bit if we stopped importing inferior goods from countries where a lack of environmental protection standards and an abundance of cheap (slave) labor are exploited.

The only things we should be importing are things that we cannot reasonably produce here, IMHO.[/quote]

Maybe you are forgetting that while we import a lot of things (and crap) we also export a lot of things. There are a lot of people in this country who make their living working in places that export goods: Things like computers, software, microchips, aircraft, cellphones, agriculture, oil & gas technology, movies, media, telecomm equipment, branded consumer goods, high-end machninary, drugs, medical devices and things like that.

Maybe you think that any pain to them is trivial or you think that other countries will import their stuff anyway. Or you are proposing that they stop doing that and start making overpriced toys in a unionized shop (because that is all that we will hope be able to do, once great depression II sets in, after this trade war begins)

Sure, Dave, global utilitarianism,”the greatest good for the greatest number of people”, is where we are headed.

Brian,you can’t frown upon the unsustainable, irrational american financial practices and cheer for the emerging developing nations, when one was needed to fuel the other. Essentially, to be consistent, you have for cheer both. Of course, we call the aggregate american behavior “rational self-interest”

You say that in jest, but the fact remains that overall standards of living are rising quite rapidly in the developing world – which is most of the world on a total population basis. It’s just rising, to a certain extent, at the expense of the middle class in the developed world, which is a pretty small minority of the world’s population. I think what really bothers you is that while all of this is going on wealth continues to concentrate in the hands of the world’s top 1%, a group that’s becoming farther removed from either of the other two groups. But this doesn’t change the fact in my first sentence.

With the gargantuan mosaic of global statistics, one could see many pictures, depending on how you tilt your head and squint our eyes.
