Hvem tror på at forbrukermakt ikke funker, fra artikkelen:
In 2024 U.S. military exports were
$318.7 billion; that was roughly 15 percent of
total U.S. goods exports. It was also almost twice our
agricultural exports.

Many foreigners come to America to study, attracted by the quality of our colleges and universities. In 2023, the most recent year for which data are available, they spent
more than $50 billion. But if you were a foreigner considering study in the U.S. next year, wouldn’t you be worried that you might find yourself arrested and deported for expressing what the current administration considers anti-American views? I would. So we can expect a hit to higher education, which, although we rarely think of it this way, is a major U.S. export.

U.S. foreign debt, which if you include both foreign-owned bonds and loans amounts to
more than $18 trillion. I don’t think we’re vulnerable to a Greek-style debt crisis, or at any rate policy would have to get even worse to put us in that range. But even a modest rise in borrowing costs, driven by incoherent policy and talk of
forced conversion of short-term into long-term debt, would significantly increase the cost of servicing that debt
