I never claimed the Federalist papers were part of our body of laws, nimrod! It is, however, the best documented explanation of what the Founding Fathers intended, and forged, with the Constitution. Madison made it abundantly clear, the FEDERAL government doesn't deal in matters of the individual, rather, matters of state. And the state retains power in dealing with the matters of the individual. This is still a fundamental principle of our government today, it hasn't changed. Indeed, the power has shifted more toward the Federal Government over the years, and they can certainly effect our individual lives, but they don't have the Constitutional authority to do so, and you can't show me in the Constitution, where that's supported.
As for your asinine views on trade, what you've suggested, would make the general welfare of every American, markedly WORSE, not better! I explained how that worked, and you haven't offered anything other than your bird-brain opinion to the contrary. If you're going to totally obsess on foreign trade, it seems like you would educate yourself enough on the subject, to at least offer some rebuttal to my points, other than your pointless speculations.
Again, for your feeble mind, really simple here... We cut our trade with China... China calls in our debts... they can't be expected to sit there and watch their economy tank and endure massive unemployment, while holding trillions of dollars in US debt! That is not going to ever happen in the real world, so when they call in this debt, and we can't repay it... what do you suppose happens to the value of the dollar?.. really simple economic question, goofball... the value declines RAPIDLY! In short order, our dollar is worthless, we don't have any of the shit we used to get cheap from China, and meanwhile, the Russians are still supporting China, and we're fucked. To put it in your terms... jizzed in the face by the Chinese!
