There's a ton of evidence that restricting trade makes a country poorer.

It's not a bad idea in principle, but doesn't work in practice.

The other countries that have restricted trade did not have the consumerism lifestyle that the US currently has.

Due to that, I'm not entirely sure that the other examples would provide a like for like scenario.

I never said that the US was a like for like scenario for nationalized health care. Given how people take care of themselves in Montana, I'm pretty sure that it's not a good idea. I thought we covered this scenario between you and I?

The world of (post market crash) 1930 is a little different then it is today.

I'm not sure that it's a good case study.
