your right, things will cost more if they are not produced by slave labor overseas.
But you are missing us paying for the unemployed, paying for their children's jail time as they descend into hopelessness, paying more in property taxes because closed businesses pay none, the costs to our retirement as the value of our dollar takes a steep dive.

As for Economics, I take it you mean the brilliant minds that think the bank bailout was a brilliant idea, and that the stimulus worked.

"As for Economics, I take it you mean the brilliant minds that think the bank bailout was a brilliant idea, and that the stimulus worked."

Here you confuse economics, a body of knowledge, with economists, people who merely profess or use that knowledge. People are imperfect, and economist are know to misuse the pulpit for the benefit of their political views. Things you discuss, however, are basic economics, on which economists have no disagreement. Bailouts are completely irrelevant to what we have been discussing.

If what I wrote has not made you think, I cannot help you any further.
