Where did I say I am in favor of borrowing from anyone?
I am a conservative on fiscal matters. I do not believe in borrowing for consumption.
Borrowing from China to pay welfare and entitlements at least has some humanitarian benefit. But we are also borrowing from China & Japan to protect oil flow from middle-east to China and Japan! We do not need oil from middle-east. Why we spend on military operations in middle-east instead of China and Japan? That is the REAL STUPIDITY.
You can’t have it both ways. If you’re going to put Americans out of work, you have to pay to support them, so you will be borrowing for consumption.
If you don’t want to borrow for consumption, you need to make sure that Americans are working.
If we restored the import tariffs. Which Trump might do. We likely wouldn’t have needed bailouts. And we probably could do without the Export-Import Bank, but I think it still makes sense to keep it.
