Thank you for making my argument. Europe doesnt buy much from the US, chiefly cars. The US supports Europe. As soon as WW2 ended, and there was both the housing and baby boom, the US was doing very well economically. It was not until stupid trade deals with Japan and China, that the US started driving debt up fast. The US used to have great electronics companies that the government destroyed with bad trade deals. The car industry almost died several times because of bad trade deals. The US needs to reverse these problems, spur innovation and new companies will pop up quickly to replace old imports. Prices will go up, but the money will stay in the US, and thats whats needed. Like Poland and the EU doesnt want Ukraine grain, the US should take care of their own tech and cars.
Poland will remain protected simply because the Polish lobby in the US is huge. Can you imagine the revolt if the visa waiver was taken away? Most of us with Polish herritage, grew up in or near largely "Polish" neighborhoods if youre in your 40's or older. Thats a pretty important voting demographic in the US now. Its also a very important wealth demographic.
