I know a foolproof way to lower the trade deficit and reduce illegal immigration [View all]

It also lowers rents, reduces income inequality, lowers our carbon output, and reduces household debt. We know it works because we've already tried it before.

Unfortunately, it's "have a recession". In 2008-2010, our trade deficit fell, illegal immigration fell, rents fell, income inequality fell, our carbon output was reduced, and household debt fell.

I keep thinking that the problems a lot of people are up in arms about are the "problems" of having a very good economy.
