Well we all know that but America doesn't seem to mind. The US sees Japan as a huge threat their cars nearly killed the big three and their tech companies have posed a huge threat. America is doing everything it can to increase American production and kill off global competitors.
Obama has hurt Canada horribly now we are turning to China. The US has been hurting its trading partners for years. Also Japan's government is who said America helped them inflate the yen. Now that Japan's yen is so high they are doing everything they can to make it harder and more expensive for international corporations.
Also yes I understand the US is in a depression and on the verge of economic collapse. However the rest of the world is going through the exact same problems. Japan is going down the EU struggling other countries in Africa and the middle east and other stable countries also starting to struggle.
Protectionism will only hurt America and in turn the global economy. Plus America's unemployment rate is not that bad and the middle class should be able to survive. I have to say we are all in this together not one country against another this is a global economy.
