Mercantilism advocates trade restrictions through restriction of
imports and expansion of exports so as to accumulate gold and foreign

This is a broad defination of what I do in order to afford to sail off
into the sunrise, sailing the world re-dispensing my aquired gold and
currency.

It's a good plan and works for me, why should it not work for the USA?

If the government passed a law that said you will receive an annual salary
of $1 million per annum, it defintitely works for you.

So why not do it for everyone in the US?
