Why? because we are in debt? I think we won't be getting stuff from China and everywhere out in Asia.

If the US cut off all trade with other countries and did not allow imports to come in, here are a few items we will miss:

coffee
imported oil (gas)
bananas
many tropical fruits
teas
ships
foreign cars (VW, Volvo, Hundai and more)
foreign auto parts
bamboo products
most rice
imported wine (France, Italy)

and so much more. Many of our clothes are made in China, Singapore and other countires too. China also make many trinkets and items you use everyday.

If we cut off all trade, prices for Americans will go through the roof. And K-Mart and Walmart will have to go out of business.

Sorry, I can not give up the coffee.

A LOT of things, I mean go into a store and look at all the products that are for sale, it is amazing how many of them are from China and how few are made in the U.S. Even if a product is built in the U.S, we still import a lot of parts that go into the finished product. You are even looking at food, we import a lot of food as well because we allow sprawl to take place and eat up a lot of our ag lands, for example Santa Clara, Calif used to be known as the fruit basket of the world, now there is no fruit grown, developers have bought up all the land and turn it into a city, which that isn't a bad thing but now we just product that much less.

You would see a world war. The US produces half the food not eaten in the United States. You would starve 3 billion people. I promise a world war would be the minimum response. Some of those countries are nuclear so I suspect the US would have a regime change of its own.
