… is this Facebook post from earlier this morning by Bob Higgs:

As Trump continues to burden and impede Americans’ economic interactions with people in the rest of the world, those people will find a next-best option and move on, and the USA will find itself moving steadily backwards, as its government blocks the vast gains from trade and other reliable interactions with people in other countries. What Peron did to Argentina in the twentieth century, transforming it from a prosperous and growing economy to an economic backwater, Trump is doing to the USA in the twenty-first century.

Idiocracy is bad; authoritarian idiocracy is worse.
