Those dollars that return are nullified by dollars that wouldn’t have to.

It's obvious, we should grow coffee and bananas in Chicago, because we'd keep the benefit of our spending in Chicago and we'd still have all the products we use.

Of course the products would be of lower quality and several times the price, but it's worth it, to "nullify" those exported dollars.

What a moronic "argument". I'm embarrassed for him.

Is that what you think "nullification" meant? In order for nullification to happen, would the (overseas) person receiving U.S. dollars necessarily have to shovel them into a furnace in order for them to be "nullified?"

That's the part I was having trouble with . . . .

I’m not buying Chicago coffee. I live in Massachusetts. The Massachusetts Co-Operative Growers Association( “Mass Coffee Is Local Coffee” ) has convinced me that 42$/pound is actually cheaper than Chicago coffee, which is good since although we are now self sufficient, mostly, and all have jobs. The economy has really turned around. Most of us have three jobs, it’s just that we have an inflation problem, although no one seems to be making a profit. ;
