Right, to think that we can cut ourselves off from the world is fine, as long as we're willing to be 20 to 30 years backward like North Korea. That sounds extreme, but that's literally what happened to them.

We can't. To many products require specialty materials or parts that America doesn't have or doesn't produce. So, I agree with you.

NK is actually further behind than that. East Germany was 20-30 years behind when they reunified with West Germany.
