    Hypothetically if you wanted your country to become impoverished within the next five decades, what sort of things would you do that are different to what the current administration is doing?

      They don’t want the country to be impoverished, and it’s ridiculous to suggest that.

      They just want the bottom 99.9% of the population to be impoverished. They’re already most of the way there.

      The only differences I can think of is not chickening out on the tariffs and forcing the interest rate lower to kick off runaway inflation.

      I mean, technically there would be more direct measures, like using artillery to blow up infrastructure or destroying crop with flamethrowers.
