Debt and China are the only real problems.

You can trade with or without Brexit, PERIOD!

You have trade wars when someone wants a one side deal or you have a weak country and the other side want to take advantage of it.

The debt crisis of 2011 and thereabouts never went a way. It was papered over and Der Fuhrer said "Look at the birdie!"

It is Obama's fault.

There was never a Leftist leader of a Western Democracy that he did not like or did not encourage.

It is also liberals fault in America. they ballyhoo, preen and strut whenever someone like Ortega, Chavez, Evil Morales get elected. This has an effect. Liberal CHUDS forever are stupid.
