How much of the wealth is in actual cash in the US? I know from my wealth - bank balance, there's a huge gap. We would need to sell our investments.

The real problem is Americans refuse to pay for what they need. Claiming they don't need it doesn't wash. Look around you and see where Governments spend most of their money. If it's inside a country, it's going around the system providing jobs, or cheap food, or services. 26% of GDP isn't enough. Especially the way your government spends it.

Something needs to be done about Third World imports.

This is just China.



China and the rest of the world.



This can't continue without something very bad happening.

Consumer prices would climb, money spent would be higher, because more people would have jobs and be buying the goods. As for war, why would China declare war on it's only customers, all that's needed is to balance the trade.
