Dude, still waiting for your data source on the countries you incorrectly lost 15% of GDP, and that the US produces 25% of the world's GDP? Are you completely impervious to facts that don't fit your preconceived narrative? Also still waiting to hear about how Bush caused a 40% drop in GDP with the dollar's fall, another inconvenient paradox of your fantasy world you're ignoring? Is this crap about people with 4 year degrees working at Jack in the Box the best you can come up with to address the many legitimate points by every other poster on this thread that you're full of shit? (again something you probably made up, although there are homeless people with PhDs so doubtless in 2010 and every other year you could find someone at Jack in the box with a 4 year degree). You are just wrong on so many levels and so obstinate that you refuse to see what's staring you in the face. Take a macro course, learn how the scientific method works, then come rejoin the adult conversation. At this point you're just making yourself look more and more ignorant every time you post.
Well, what can I say... You're certainly entitled to your views, however outlandish and bizarre they might be. Just don't expect people to take you seriously.
I wonder what would happen if we pull out of the world and just worry about our country. With no free American tax payer funded security, they will have to start spending on their own militaries.
There's no need to wonder, lot's of the top economists in the world have quantified the benefit of international trade and a safe, stable globe for the interests of the U.S. Turns out that your idea is the worst possible one out there, for almost more reasons than one can count. In a way, you're much like the Islamic extremists trying to return us to some dark ages point in history where we all live behind a moat in a castle with "our" people (and were willfully ignorant, to top it off). They called it the dark ages for a reason you know!
With other countries' sharing of huge financial expenses and worldwide physical infrastructure, the US alone could not implement her desired/expected airstrike early warning system below.

China had the one child policy (now two), the US has the no paid time off policy. Both should achieve the same outcome - limiting population growth from legal residents.
Good policy? I don't think so! In Australia, having various incentives of different kind for new birth babies locally, we still want more migrants (skilled & others).
