Stupid question on gas prices

I think the US really should have cut off a lot of outside shit a long time ago. Our dollar is worth so little now and the country is suffering from it…why? because we like to have all the other countries do the work and we just import shit. It all came from being cheap asses and basing everything outside of the US to reduce labor payout. If America as a whole…or even as a majority…wanted change…shit wouldn’t be as it is now.

No, isn’t it the American dream to get filthy rich and die happy?
