Everything will be more expensive. Our meager investments are being sacrificed to fund a moron's zero sum worldview.
Trade has always been a good thing. It works best when both sides win. Don't talk to me about deficits. That was the old times. We're on our way to more expensive crap products and a crashed market ripe for the billionaire bros to gobble up on the cheap.
The looting of the USA. This is what Putin did to consolidate power. We're back in Napoleonic times.
Yes, as Varoufakis points out in the article I linked to, Trump's plan will help the rich, but hurt America's allies and most Americans.
He says that the Nixon plan was intended to maintain US economic hegemony even though America became a debtor nation. This was accomplished through financialization and globalization of the economy -- two changes which undoubtedly harmed quality of life for regular Americans. Trump's plan is something similar.
It should be no surprise that Trump works to help people like himself, and doesn't care about the rest of us.
Unfortunately I don't know of any way to work against these changes, or Trump's harmful intentions.
