So basically you want the US to support global welfare
Exactly the opposite. Artificially limiting competition in the market is welfare for Americans.

Weren't we all supposed to hate this plan when it was nanny-state government, running up the national debt, etc.? I don't remember reading any positive mention of Yang anywhere on INGO when this was his idea.
...How have people watched the 2016 election cycle, seen Trump win the nomination (and the presidency) while clearly not the choice of party insiders, and and then four years later returned to the conspiracy theory that party insiders control the nomination process and the primaries are just for show?
...The U.S. gets to buy products from around the world in a currency that is made up. Seriously, the Federal Reserve has created nearly $2,000,000,000,000 so far this year. Those are dollars that did not previously exist.
...There's not a lot of market expansion still to come in the U.S. People here are already in the market. But a decent wage being common in India (to pull just one example) would increase the market for manufactured products way beyond anything the U.S. could do if we were a closed system. Everyone gets richer together.
Their median per capita income grows from $2k to $5k; ours grows from $25k to $33k. Yeah, they do better as a percentage, but it's silly to think that somehow makes us worse off or that we're being taken advantage of.
...I think it is in the best interests of U.S. workers that low-skill, low-wage jobs are exported. I think there's more benefit in (for example) clothing costing 1/4 as much as it would if it was more here than there would be benefit in having kept those jobs here for a few more decades only to still lose most of those jobs to automation.
Despite his claims, I don't think he'll run for reelection in 2024. But I also doubt that he fails to serve out this term.So, let's update our predictions folks: when is Biden going to step aside?
Any takers?
