Comments

The US needs to climb out of a deep economic hole.  The US National Debt is $30 trillion.  In 2021 the US exported $1754.5044B, imported $2833.0701B and lost $1078.5657B.

We need to increase our annual exports by $1.1 trillion by increasing our oil and natural gas production and return mining and manufacturing in the US. This will lower inflation.
