Your analysis is intellectually berift and perhaps inadvertentently dishonest as well.
It is as if you didn't understand a single word of what you just read in the post and are fixated instead on the 1996 campaign speeches of Pat Buchanan.
The "job losses" you speak of are not of the "people who can buy/most afford their products at current pricing levels". That's just nonsense both as to the facts of the situation as well as to the economics.
And do you really think that the phrase "current pricing levels" actually means something?
Your predictions as to the future, i.e. "American workers won't be able to afford anything but foreign imports at foreign prices" are equally absurd, and couched in terms that are economically meaningless. Just what are "foreign prices"? You remind me of the old Eddie Murphy bit where he imagines that white people get free newspapers at the news stand when black folks aren't watching.
Maybe you think we'll all be driving $45,000 BMWs. What a laugh.
What I'd really like to do is send you to school, but I can't afford it at "current pricing levels". But I can afford it for for my kids!
Instead, for a start, why don't you get yourself a copy of "Basic Economics" by Thomas Sowell. He might help you get a grip on your thinking processes. He might just also give you a whole new, and healthier, outlook on life.

John,
Your ad hominems are significantly outnumbering your reasoned refutations. I suggest that you try again.
