I feel like time and Trump have worn that message down along with my own. If the standard is to subsidize and do protectionism that way and stack up sovereign debt, the answer would be to slowly utilize tariffs to do the opposite, which is totally government participation in a market. My understanding is that by doing it slowly, Trump is deflating a globalist economic bubble rather than popping it, though debt/GDP remains the same. The "slow" part being important because you can't discount the rest of economics outright. I just think that understanding the way things work makes them not work like that, and it has become obvious in this case based on... hindsight. Not to say there aren't many other potential bubbles or that the one I'm thinking of is really gone.
