Libertarians aren't for isolationism. They are for non-interventionism, which, the last 7 years of war should have shown, is not a bad idea. Ron Paul as well as real libertarians are all for trading with everyone by fair means, which, indeed, does wonders for an economy.
ah right..so they're up for exploiting countries for their own economic benefit but not doing anything to help when those countries collapse?
trading "fair"...haha...i've never heard such nonsense in all my life...if a government enforced fair trade goods on it's population, thus increasing the prices of everything, they would be turfed out of office quicker than you could blink....the poorest people would be unable to afford it (i saw this myself on a daily basis as i worked in a supermarket in a poverty ridden area for 11 years)
the US economey relies on raping the economies and enforcing idiotic sanctions on those who dont trade with them....even their supposedly biggest allies...the UK for example, had a US embargo placed on cashmire wool imports from the UK because UK supermarkets refused to source bananas from US owned plantations....that's how the US plays it's "fair trade" policies for it's own end...and that's how it would have to continue for the US economy to have the remotest chance of staying reasonable

Err, why do you think products would be cheaper. Somehow it more seems like they'd be cheaper, really.

So you think the United States could not compete in any way with anything if they wouldn't put embargos on many foreign countries? Well, I doubt that is true, but for the sake of argument, what would you propose should happen then to stabilize the economy. You don't like the libertarian approach, fair enough, what's your solution?

Thanks, I don't mind though, he said I am decent 😊
Being a bullshitter, depending on its employment, is a good thing...I don't think you gab, though.
My post was also a reference to a previous conversation that Robtard and I had about his piss and vinegar status as it pertained to the future.
