Which brings me to wonder WHY you believe the solution is to implement more of the same policies?????
The "Global Economy" has been there for several centuries. The US just didn't understand that very well when THE REST OF THE WORLD opened up and your leadership did not have the vision to look outside of its own borders. Trying to "regulate" things to "protect" yourself from the outside world is exactly what you would NOT want to do. Instead, you needed to "have your crap together" with respect to INTERNAL structure. In other words, you had to do exactly what you proposed to avoid - be competitive.
Which is precisely why I wrote what I did about HOW to tax to make that happen. BUT: it is about a lot more than revenue. It is about living within your means.
The US will NEVER return to its relative status of the post-war decades because it did so when the rest of the world was lagging far behind. That is no longer the case, and hopefully never will be again. However, instead of learning to compete with those growing economies, you are suggesting (and the US is doing) exactly the opposite and trying to figure out how to hide from the challenges that you MUST meet to even maintain the shambles of an economy that you still have. THAT will not happen until everyone wakes up and realizes that you need to employ capital productively instead of following the idiotic idea that everyone can just live off of pure speculation (everyone's favourite "the Market").
In short, people have to get off their fat arse and actually PRODUCE something. You can't regulate and protect what is not even happening.
Let me start you out on the right foot, without the USA you would have no economy. I spent several years in your beautiful country, the ladies are great the scenery beautiful Canada's immigration policy is/was much more PROTECTIVE then the immigration policy of the USA, Your trade deficit even taking in account your smaller population is nothing compared to the trade deficit that the United States has.
Get some facts the war of 1812 is over, you lost
