1. Yes! Finally, someone smart here on Yahoo Answers!
2. China would probably stop lending us money and might demand payment on their loans.
3. It would collapse, in fact the world economy would collapse.
4. No, because all sales to those countries by US business would stop.
5. It might, but it would be a great struggle. We live in the world, I think it is necessary to trade with other countries. Who would buy our goods if we cut ourselves off. We do need to bring manufacturing back here, no matter what it takes.
6. Wow, where to start. Ever hear of a little thing called the USSR? They tried building a wall too. OK, it was mostly fence and barbed wire and soldiers, but basically the same thing. Didn't work out so well for them. Also, if you made everything in the US, it would be MUCH more expensive than it is now. MUCH. Why do you think companies make everything overseas, despite the hassle of travel, shipping, etc. You'd be able to afford much less than you can now. If you "banned China", whatever that means, they might be a little upset and come knocking for the TRILLIONS of dollars you guys owe them for all the cheap plastic crap you've been buying for a generation. No need to build a wall along the Canadian border. We only come down for shopping, and try not to get shot while we're at it.
7. if we kicked out all those that refuse to be here legally and eliminate the liberals from GOVT we would be fine
8. Your observations are absolutely correct. Also needed is an express lane to issue oil permits to bring the gas prices down to about $1.50 to $1.80 per gallon where they should be. Then de-fund the money pit "Renewable Energy" projects. Then lower taxes. Contrary to popular myth, raising taxes only hurts the economy. Then every second, third, or fourth generation welfare needs to be transitioned into the work force. This would be a good start with your recommendations. I would recommend not cutting the military in half - some adjustments, but not in half.
9. It would be dramatic and to our good. It's been along time since we have done something good for our people(all of them) and our country. However, The last time we borrowed money from China, China made a stipulation that we would not change the trade laws, which does away with the idea of tariffs. Obama accepted this stipulation. as for illegal aliens Entering the US illegally is a FELONY ALL ILLEGAL ALIENS ARE FELONS AND NEED TO BE DEPORTED. ILLEGAL ALIENS COST THE US OVER 250 BILLION A YEAR. I don't know that we need a wall. We could use a more effective process such as lasers that would vaporize anybody crossing our boarders illegally.(no mess and no cleanup) Probably no need for that with canada just mexico. We would also need to stop the visa lottery system used to bring people from India here.
