Oops, you're right UT. Sorry, it really was fun though...
On to other stuff.

Ok, I can see that but without the tariffs third world countries undercut our cost's on everything and nothing would get made here. This means unemployment goes through the roof and the economy tanks. Now everybody's third world, who was helped?
What I'm trying to say is that I think people are overestimating what we can do. Especialy if your talking about the US by itself. We're just one country and hey, we're in debt. If you add some of the other nations into it we can do a little more but it's still going to come down to these countries doing what Uryoces suggested and saying "no" and doing it themselves. Here's hoping they get some leadership that can find a path that let's them do that.
