How has the US economy done in comparison to the health of other developed  nations, or for that matter, growth economies in developing countries, (Brazil being the most obvious)?   Why would a person believe the US economy can thrive in a toxic international landscape?

Does anybody really need to point out changes in technology including communication, transportation, energy, multinational private companies,  has knit international economies into mutual advantages and mutual dependencies?

It doesn't matter if international markets are good or evil in one's opinion, they are not going away.    It's compete globally or rot in isolation.    

Just an opinion L2Grass, butI believe healthy economies aren't led by populist leadership, liberal or conservative.
