History, shows just how bad the economy was when import taxes were levied against our European neighbor's who now make the U.S. their home.

Furthermore, the worst is yet to come because those holding onto the poor working classes money, are not going to give it back. Once you hand someone your hard earned cash, it is almost impossible to get a return. Multiply that times 100 trillion. now, it should be easy to understand how bad it is going to get.
