#2 Maybe we could find a way to grow our economy by producing things that make life better - like, I dunno, cures for diseases, healthier foods, a better culture, for starters - as opposed to cheap shiny Chinese-made crap?

Just a thought.

Only thing they are planning for is moar cheap labor brought across the border illegally, employed illegally all at taxpayer expense.

Gone well beyond the "planning" stages I'm afraid.

Border security, appears to be a lost art. Perhaps some former Stasi or Deutsche Volkspolizei experts could be brought in to teach us proper wall maintenance and security.

#5 Ah, another Chamber of Commerce propaganda piece. You know at least slave owners had to pay out of their own pockets to feed, cloth, and shelter their slaves. They weren't subsidized by the tax payers to support their cheap labor with housing, food stamps, and free medical.

#7 Border walls, see the Israelis.

A serious approach, very serious. Unfortunately no one is in Washington is serious. Obviously others schemes are at play here.

#10 While there's no questioning its importance, a society/civilization/nation is more than its economy.

But I'm not being a good little Troo Conservative for saying so.

#12 The economy has more than one timescale...

The globalist sees themselves as over-maximising profits and rent-seeking in one country then grazing elsewhere...

#13 I still remember something my boss said way back in 1973: "Planning is very difficult, especially for the future."
