Why did you give me a link about China? We're talking about the US.
Because we're obviously not going to export to ourselves.
Which was my original point. If exports are the answer to everything, who is doing the importing, and how?
[Btw I agree with this article to an extent, and was even saying similar things last year, but still]
Yeah my point was I don't agree with the article and don't consider exports to be all that important.
If you want more wealth, you have to create it. You can't freeze it and then redistribute, you have to still grow, unless you want lower standards of living for all or plan to use genocide, sterilization, infantacide, eugenics, or some other means of population reduction, which, ironically is usually found in such nations that have Communist or non-communist Totalitarian states, which you seem to fawn over.
As such you either need to sell more goods at the same price, sell the same goods at a higher price, or a combination of both.
